QLD: Man hurt, workers evacuated after gas blast = 2

(REOPENS)



Mr O'Connor hailed one of the injured workers a hero after he dragged his seriously injured
workmate away from the scene after exploding gas cylinders became projectiles flying around
the plant and destroying an office.

The seriously hurt man had been working in the BOC plant recharging the cylinders.

"His partner, who also works in the same area, was the person who dragged him out after the
explosion and he's suffering from shock," Mr O'Connor said.
