Ist schon der Grund der Explosion bekannt? Zu welchem Konzern gehörte die Fabrik?

Untersuchen dürfte recht schwierig werden, einerseits ist die Anlage faktisch pulverisiert worden (gemäß der Bilder), andererseits hat wohl niemand überlebt, der beschreiben könnte, was genau passiert ist.

Ob die Firma (Accurate Energetic Systems) einem Konzern angehörte oder eigenständig war, weiß ich ehrlich gesagt nicht sicher, aber so wie ich es lese, war es eine kleinere, eigenständige Firma.
