2 Injured As Explosions Rock Dallas
7/25/07

(CBS 11 News) DALLAS Several explosions and a large fire rocked an industrial company near downtown Dallas Wednesday morning.

The business, Southwest Industrial Gases, Inc., is a welding supply company. It went up in flames at about 9:30 a.m.

The scene was located near the I-30 and I-35 interchange. Both highways and many other roads in the area were closed. Traffic was backed up for miles in several directions. You can find alternate routes in our Traffic Section.

Dallas Fire officials tell CBS 11 the fire started when a truck in the back of the business caught fire. The flames then spread to the rest of the building.

Several tanks of material believed to be acetylene fuel could be seen exploding and throwing large pieces of shrapnel throughout the area. Acetylene is used in welding.

Not good. Lucky that no one was killed with the shrapnel raining down everywhere.

Someone was able to get some video of the shrapnel falling out of the sky. It was on the news tonight. Some of the stuff was still burning when it hit the ground.
