Default Explosion in the Hunter Valley - 2 people dead!

http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/...419927603.html

Looks bad too!



Two people are dead and another man has been severely injured after an explosion at a Hunter Valley winery.

An ambulance spokeswoman confirmed that two people had been killed in the explosion at Drayton's Winery at Pokolbin, near Cessnock in NSW.

It is understood that another man received burns to 80 per cent of his body in the explosion.

A worker at nearby winery Ivanhoe said several workers in that vineyard had heard the explosion and immediately ran across to help.

She said three rescue helicopters were present at the scene and she could see smoke coming from the Drayton's property.

Newcastle radio station 2HD reported Hunter ambulance authorities as saying "many people" had sustained severe burns.
