Explosion during high-pressure testing at Safran Ventilation Systems plant in Blagnac (near Toulouse) injures two workers
An explosion occurred in a test bay at Safran Ventilation Systems’ site in Blagnac, near Toulouse, leaving two technicians in critical condition. The facility was evacuated, and investigators are looking at high-pressure test equipment—possibly a high-pressure nozzle—as a potential cause. One patient remains in intensive care; the other is reported to be improving.
