An explosion Monday at a US Steel coking plant near Pittsburgh has left people trapped under the rubble, with emergency workers on site trying to rescue them, an official said. There are no confirmed fatalities at the Clairton Coke Works, said Abigail Gardner, director of communications for Allegheny County.

The Allegheny County Emergency Services said a fire at the plant started around 10:51 a.m. and that it has transported five people. The agency did not provide any more details on those people transported and would only say it was an active scene.The Clairton Coke Works, a massive industrial facility along the Monongahela River south of Pittsburgh, is considered the largest coking operation in North America. A coking plant processes raw coal into coke, a critical component in steelmaking.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

What's crazy is we have no idea how often this does or doesn't happen in China and they likely do much more volume than we do. Manufacturing can be dangerous no matter how careful.

Man, I actually interviewed for a job with them a good 13 years ago.

Wasn't at that facility, but it was with that company.
