Conagra in Garner, NC Explosion
This is a Company outside of Raleigh, NC. Report was on CNN, FOX, and surfing the channels.
LIVE coverage. Pretty bad looking.
I hope the media is getting a ground coverage of employees. Many employees are standing outside of the building.

Roof collapses in explosion at Slim Jim plant
Posted: 42 minutes ago
Updated: 3 minutes ago
Garner, N.C. — The roof of a Garner food plant collapsed Tuesday morning following an explosion inside, authorities said.
Mayor Ronnie Williams said authorities told him 12 to 15 employees in the ConAgra Foods plant suffered from exposure to toxic fumes from ammonia leaks at the plant. Some employees also suffered chemical burns, he said.
A WakeMed spokeswoman said they were preparing for 10 to 12 patients.
The 50,000-square-foot plant at 4851 Jones Sausage Road was formerly owned by Raleigh-based GoodMark Foods and is known for making Slim Jim beef jerky products.
The cause of the explosion wasn't immediately known.
Leonard Spruill, a worker at the plant, told WRAL News that he heard a loud explosion and that several of his co-workers were badly burned. Spruill suffered burns on his leg and was headed to the hospital.
Footage from Sky 5 showed several holes in the roof of the plant, and seven or eight cars smashed under part of the front of the building, which had been blown outward. Liquid could be seen flowing from pipes along the roof and inside the plant, but it was unclear whether that was water or ammonia.
The state Highway Patrol has blocked several nearby roads, and hazardous materials teams were responding to the area to contain and clean up leaking chemicals. Troopers blocked the Jones Sausage Road exit off Interstate 40.
Family members of ConAgra workers were told to go to the Garner Senior Center, on Garner Road, for more information. Some relatives said workers told them they had suffered burns or had inhaled fumes.
East Garner Middle School is located nearby the plant, but Williams said it was far enough away not to be affected by the explosion or ammonia fumes.
