Six were killed, forty seriously injured, and sixty others injured, by an explosion at a Liverpool factory, believed to have been caused by internal combustion, trapping employees on the top floors, which were enveloped in a sheet of flame. One of the injured had his clothes completely blown off and the skin blackened. Another, badly burned, appeared on the roof, with no clothes, waving his arms, terror stricken. He was about to jump over a hundred feet to the pavement when rescued. Others were dug out of the ruins of three top floors.
