DUESSELDORF, Germany (Reuters) – The operator of a German industrial park that was rocked by an explosion on Tuesday dampened hopes of finding more survivors in the debris, saying it was unlikely that the five missing people were still alive.
It is too early to know what caused the explosion at the Chempark site, home to chemicals companies including Bayer and Lanxess, operator Currenta said on Wednesday.
Two people were already found dead on Tuesday and 31 were injured.
