An explosion leveled a four-story plastics factory in Glasgow today. Three people were killed and 37 were injured. More than a dozen employees were reported to be trapped in the rubble, and fire rescue teams worked through the day to rescue survivors. At least four people were carefully extracted from beneath the wreckage during the afternoon. About 50 employees worked at the Stockline Plastics factory, in the northwest section of the city.
