2 people dead. The photos show essentially that a large framework fell sideways through what appears to be a light framed roof system.

RE: Building Explosion and Collapse in Omaha, Nebraska
Anyway, they had pictures of some of the places that had blown-up over the years and one of our engineers still had the scars on his face from when he was at a customer's site and was going into one of these rooms where the flour silos and valves where located right when it exploded and he was thrown back out through the door. He was lucky as all he got was some bad burns on his face and hands and a broken arm. The three other guys working in the room, one of whom was trying to weld something before they had cleaned the place up, were killed instantly.
