No Injuries Reported in Pascagoula Gas Plant Explosion

Posted By Glenda Cochran Associates Attorneys at Law || 14-Sep-2016

Residents of Pascagoula, Mississippi were given quite a scare during the late night hours of Monday, June 27th, 2016 when an explosion at a local gas plant shook the area, causing a massive plume of fire to shoot up and light the night sky. The plant, located near Highways 90 and 63 in Jackson County, Mississippi, exploded at approximately 11:40 at night and continued to burn throughout the night into the following morning, completely blackening one of the facility’s natural gas towers. Thankfully, no one was hurt in the blast, as the two on-duty plant employees were sealed inside an explosion-proof room at the time of the explosion. The exact cause of the explosion has yet to be determined.

The fact that no injuries resulted from this catastrophe can be described as nothing short of a miracle, since most gas explosions like this result in extreme devastation. The force alone of a gas explosion can cause deafness, concussions, and internal bleeding, while the resulting extreme heat can cause horrific 3rd degree burn injuries and lasting disfigurement. In many cases, explosion injury victims are left with enduring debilitation and a permanently reduced quality of life, requiring expensive round-the-clock medical care.
