In central Connecticut, a power plant that was under construction experienced a sudden explosion. At this time, 5 people have been killed and an additional 25 injured.

A natural gas line at the Kleen Energy Systems plant caused the explosion. The blast was felt for miles. The power plant building was reportedly destroyed. More than 24 hours after the explosion, there was still a great deal of confusion about the number of casualties. Survivors who suffered serious injuries reported being thrown 30 to 40 feet by the blast.
