This is tough. One of the reasons I avoided plant work after graduation. All we can do is hope for the best for all involved now.

I got out of plants 2 years ago.
This type event reminds me of how good that decision was.

All good here and no known friend or family involved.

Sad to say, but the number is likely to go up. Hopefully these guys jumped fence and ran, and are alive and kicking. I hate when this shite happens.
