| 2. French television reported |
|
that all cars within 100 yards were destroyed. Things within 300 yards melted, but the houses beyond that were undamaged. The people living there said it felt like an earthquake.
15 dead, 20 still on the critical list, and 3 still missing.
It was at the construction site of an industrial diamond factory that would have opened within a few weeks.
Firefighters who were trying to stop the gas leak were among the dead.
