EXPLOSION IN BOFORS FACTORY
BUILDING DESTROYED STOCKHOLM, November 22. An explosion demolished the T.N.T. factory of the Bofors munition works, the largest in Sweden. The explosion was so violent that many other buildings collapsed. Windows over three miles away were blown out. There were no deaths. Some workers were slightly injured by splinters. Employees sheltered behind embankments when an alarm was given. This saved their lives.
