美國路易斯安那州─ 警方指出在美國路易斯安那州Gibson市的一所天然氣廠，於週四發生爆炸。至少3人死亡，2人受重傷。
13名職員以及19名約聘人員當時正在路易斯安那州Williams Partners天然氣廠現場。工廠運轉經理Warren Toups表示，當時器材並沒有在運作，天然氣也並未在管線中運輸。
上午11點左右，約聘人員正在進行保養，這時候爆炸發生了。造成3人死亡2人受傷。
警方指出爆炸原因應該是從儲藏槽裡堆積的烴類，流動至管線中堆積所造成。調查依然在進行中。

GIBSON, LOUISIANA — At least three people were killed and two were seriously injured in an explosion at a natural gas plant in Gibson, Louisiana on Thursday, authorities said.
Thirteen employees and 19 contract workers were on site of a Williams Partners' natural gas facility in Louisiana. The facility was not operational at the time and natural gas was not flowing through the pipeline system, said Warren Toups, the plant's operations manager.
At around 11 a.m., contract workers were conducting maintenance when the blast occurred, killing three and wounding two workers.
Authorities said the blast source may have been from a tank that collects hydrocarbons that build up within natural gas pipelines. An investigation is ongoing.
An explosion in a chemical plant also owned by Williams Partners killed one and injured 73 people in June 2013. The company paid a federal fine of $36,000 for safety violations.
