Berlin One person has died and 16 others were injured when an explosion rocked an industrial park for chemicals in the western German city of Leverkusen on Tuesday. The search is still on for four people, Chempark manager Lars Friedrich told reporters shortly after the incident Tuesday. Clouds of dark smoke rise above the Chempark site. The fire has now been brought "under control," Currenta spokesperson Maximilian Laufer told CNN. Currenta said they should also turn off air conditioning systems while it measured the air around the site for possible toxic gas.
