Maybe they did though. The 2 people who died could've been maintenance (or regular workers) trying to shut it off. And the others might have been trying to evacuate.

One end dropped then, the other end slowly went toward the wall (40 foot 8,000 lbs beam ). It sheared both the gas pipes we use for cutting instantly. 100 psi of acetylene gas pouring out. And 140 psi of oxygen pouring out the same time (when both are mixed ,then ignited, its same as dynamite). It sheared above the shut off valves. The only other option was the main valves. Which was about 200 feet away. It filled 1/4 of the factory in 15 seconds (it's not a small factory at all). Until we got to the main. Luckily it didn't ignite, nobody was welding or using a torch. Yes you can smell it , but it could be too late. All it takes is something to ignite it. Also that gas will make you dizzy and sick breathing in huge amounts. This seems like a huge amount of gas was in the building. Maybe something similar happened there. A pipe got sheared. And poured out full pressure. If it was 10 seconds of it pouring out until it exploded. You might smell it, and had only 2 seconds then to get out. Cause it was already 8 seconds in until it reached you. Things can go bad very fast.

I used to work in a building that had sensors for the double-walled piping for the gas lines. If the inner piped leaked, it would alert the entire building to a possible gas leak. Whether its people or machines, an evacuation order is technically a warning. Whether or not a facility has such safeguards in place depends on how much safety is valued in the work place.
I saw some of those employees as patients when I was employed in a Mt Penn dental practice. Their were so many in their 60's close to retirement. Sweetest ladies work there. I hope the missing are found today.
Maybe a conspiracy but could it be they didn't want to pay for their retirement? Like I mean, how come no-one smelled the sulfur that comes with a gas leak?

"The factory exploded without warning." You mean factories tend to explode WITH warning? 🤔
I read other comments that some did complain about a possible gas leak or smell prior to this. Totally unverified but it does seem plausible.
I used to work in a building that had sensors for the double-walled piping for the gas lines. If the inner piped leaked, it would alert the entire building to a possible gas leak. Whether its people or machines, an evacuation order is technically a warning. Whether or not a facility has such safeguards in place depends on how much safety is valued in the work place.
Yes, alarm for such things should be working.
Factory: "Hey guys. Feelin like I might explode today. Heads up."
There’s a shedload of OSHA regulations on machinery and equipment in factories made to warn of impending failures in the factory’s systems.
There are an incredible number of ignorant comments here. People died, it's not a joke, don't make it one, show some compassion people.
