The incident occurred at a CF Industries facility in the Mississippi River community of about 7,500 people, located some 40 miles south of Baton Rouge. According to its website, CF Industries is “the second largest nitrogen fertilizer producer in the world and the third largest phosphate fertilizer producer among public companies. “The Louisiana State Police first learned of the explosion around 7:10 p.m. (8:10 p.m. ET), Lt. John Cannon said. About 45 minutes after that first call, a fire at the scene had been put out and hazardous material units were en route, he added. At least one of those injured in Friday’s explosion was flown from the scene, according to Cannon. Two or three others suffered minor injuries. The blast comes a day after two people died and more than 100 others were injured in an explosion at another at Louisiana chemical plant — that one in Geismar, which is in Ascension Parish, like Donaldsonville.
