Working at a chocolate factory sounds interesting to me, but not this time.

Two people are dead, five are missing and multiple others are injured after an explosion at a chocolate factory Friday in West Reading, Pennsylvania, police and city officials said.



One person was found alive overnight in the rubble. Eight people are in the hospital but their conditions are unknown, according to officials.



"Rescue workers continue to search for any other possible survivors. The discovery of life overnight ... provides hope that others still may be found," Mayor Samantha Kaag said at a press conference Saturday.

This is awful.

Apparently the explosion was so violent it moved a building over by 4 feet. It just seems sadder than usual to me with it happening just before 5PM on a Friday.

I didn't realize this was even a concern at chocolate factories, until this happened.

It just seems wrong. Such things shouldn't happen where such delicious items are created. Esp not just before 5, on Friday

(I haven't read about what happened. I've only heard about it.)
