There were fourteen people there at the moment, working with the four tubs full of hydrochloric acid, five rinse tanks, and wringer rolls. Eight of them were injured and evacuated; six people were sent to hospitals with varying gravity of condition, and two of them received first aid. Six men and one woman were killed.
