[Updated at 11:06 a.m.] An explosion has injured two people at a plant in Crosby, Texas, police said Friday.
All of the employees at the plant were accounted for after the blast, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
Hazardous materials teams were called in, but no evacuations were required as a result of the explosion, sheriff's officials noted.
Dear CNN, You might want to check Louisiana for updates. This was a "Texas Oil Co." plant, in Youngsville, Louisiana, not in Texas.
.... unless there were two explosions this morning.
Incorrect. That is the Harris County HazMat team. I recognize all the team vehicles in this shot. My father is on scene at this incident. His is the brown HMRT Suburban on the left side of the shot.
Wrong answer. Justin is a Fox troll trying to discredit CNN. ignore
From the looks of things, there were two. One in Crosby TX and one in Youngsville LA. Both of them this morning.
Gee, it would see that the two sentences talking about how this is breaking news and they'll bring more too us as they get it might lead one to believe that the mature, responsible course of action would be to wait until the clearly-being-investigated and still developing event has ended.
"The blast happened just after 5 a.m. Friday at KMCO LP chemical plant in the 16500 block of Ramsey Road near Crosby-Dayton Road."
Sorry Fox-Troll, you lose. Go away.
It was in Texas as one of the individuals is my nephew He is in critical condition.
Justin Observation.....what? This happened down the street from me in TX. It woke me up.
John 16:8 (God's Word Translation 1995) "He will come to convict the world of sin, to show the world what has God's approval, and to convince the world that God judges it."

Let's just pray that everyone is safe
and is able to enjoy Christmas with
there family's. Although, that's what
they get for raising our price's of gas.
Not the workers, wish it were the people
that authorized the raise.
That's a pretty awful thing to say. I have a really hard time believing you're a marine. No marine I know would say a thing like that.
Dayton Broncos whooped Crosby this year in football. Go Broncos!!! And I hope everyone's ok. Drive by that place every day going to work.
Wow, now that is a classy comment. There is an explosion in a nearby town in which people were hurt and the first thing you deem relevant to point out is that your town beat that town in football.
Hey!! There's an idea. Let everyone vote on the price of oil that resides in the USA. That should fix their soorry selves at oil companies!! I hope and pray no one got hurt badly and everyone has a safe and blessed Christmas. Remember Jesus is the reason for the season!!
FYI... This chemical plant does not produce gas and has nothing to do with your gas prices. They are a specialty chemical manufacturer and make additives that go in everything from shampoo to petroleum products. I worked at this plant for several years and unfortunately an accident was only a matter of time due to their safety practices. We can only hope that these operators that were injured come through OK.
Justin, what about getting your facts right (like CNN is trying to) before posting a message.
Come on people! There was some kind of explosion in Youngsville, LA early this morning. No one was injured. Stop jumping to conclusion every chance you get. Life is too short to be miserable!
What? The price of gas is going up? Up more that a buck a gallon since Obama took office? Well I'm sure he has a handle on things. . .well. . .maybe not. What's that? Well maybe he will when gas hits 4 a gallon? Ho ho! That's okay. . .he's for more off-shore drilling, right? Er, he was. . .but he changed his mind. Now he's against in. Or was that before he was for it again? Gosh I'm confused.
