According to several local reports, a gas explosion on Sunday destroyed a building on the grounds of ArcelorMittal’s Steelton, Pennsylvania plant.  Non one was injured in the explosion and subsequent fire.

Authorities said that a gas leak started in a small (45-by-50-foot) washroom—the cause for the leak is still under investigation. 

The plant was formerly part of Bethehem Steel Corp., until ArcelorMittal acquired it in 2006.
