Explosion at Yakima hop plant sends 4 to hospital!

YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) - Authorities say an explosion at a Yakima, Wash., hop extraction plant released carbon dioxide into the nearby area and sent four people to a local hospital.

The Yakima Herald-Republic reports Friday's explosion at the Hops Extract Corp. of America was powerful enough to blow out a door and send a layer of yellow hops extract into the street.

Firefighters said one of the four people was reported in serious condition while the others had minor injuries.

The carbon dioxide dissipated fairly quickly. The gas is used in the processing of hops, a key ingredient in beer.

I hop that those four get bitter soon.

Am I a bad person for laughing?

Hope everyone is ok. It's interesting though. I wonder if they are using an extraction system from my company. Have to check that out. Sounds like a Very large scale extraction system. That's a lot of CO2.
