CINCINNATI — About 100 workers cleaning up a plant rocked by fatal explosions last month were evacuated Saturday after a propane leak was discovered.
Cincinnati police said the leak came from a large tank buried in the rubble of the BASF Corp. plant, but it was quickly contained. No one was injured.
A series of blasts at the plant on July 19 killed one worker and injured at least 68 other people.
