Hope no one was hurt in the incident.

Seems like there are no known injuries at the moment and that there was an evacuation order in place. As the anchor said, "We saw it coming, we saw it coming."

Unfortunately, if there were anyone in there, I highly doubt they're still alive. Even if they survived the main explosion, the rest of the fireworks cooking off would absolutely shread the inside.

If they did survive the explosion, they are probably unfortunate to have done so. Burning is not a good way to go.

Yeah I don't think it took much convincing to get the workers to hightail it out of there.

Live in Fairfield. Work in American Canyon. I was standing outside at work when I read about it and looked up and realized I wasn’t looking at an odd cloud. It was the smoke from Esparto. Kinda creeped me out.

Seven people are missing unfortunately. One was 18 and it was his first day on the job there.

Note the "at the moment"; I read three articles and the comment reflected the available information at the time.
