At least 2 dead, 9 missing after chocolate factory explodes in Pennsylvania

At least two people were killed and nine are missing after a massive explosion at a Pennsylvania chocolate factory on Friday, officials said.

A violent blast at the RM Palmer Company plant rocked the town of West Reading shortly before 5 p.m., local officials said.

At least eight people were hospitalized for medical attention.

A spokesperson for Reading hospital told NBC that of the eight patients, one was transferred, two were in fair condition and the rest had been released.

The cause of the blast remains under investigation, but officials said they believe it may have been the result of a gas leak, WPVI reported.

Video posted on social media showed the building violently explode, sending debris and flames flying into the sky.
