WEST READING, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Two people are dead and five others are unaccounted for after an explosion and four-alarm fire at a West Reading, Pennsylvania chocolate factory on Friday evening.
Officials say one person was found alive and pulled from the rubble overnight Saturday.
Chief of Police Wayne Holben said the rescue of one person from the rubble "provides hope that others still may be found."
Rescue workers were continuing a thorough search using specialized equipment and techniques. Officials said dogs and imaging equipment were being used to look for signs of life during the careful removal of debris.
The names of the people who were killed have not been released.

Terrible.
Gas leak maybe?

That bastard should never have turned the entire factory over to Charlie. What the hell does he know about how to safely run a chocolate factory?

RM Palmer. They make a lot of the chocolate candy bunnies you see at Easter.

Hope no Oompa Loompas were harmed.

I want to make a disgruntled Oompa Loompa joke so badly, but people died

Damned sad situation but what really disturbed me was when the firemen arrived they started squirting solid streams at the tops of the flames and just making steam instead of working at the base of the flames where they could do some good. A broader fan spray allows them to get closer to the fire and work on the base of the flames where the trouble starts. They wasted time and resources that might have saved lives of those in the rubble.

Dude, the Oompa Loompas were operating this mission. I'm worried about the Peeps, though.
You cannot trust the Oompa Loompas

Fat fricks will create a candy bar shortage now

I'm having trouble finding out how many chocolate factories have ever exploded.
Seems like a lot of food processing businesses have exploded lately.
