After the explosion at a business park in Lebring south of Graz, in which a hydrogen tank exploded on Tuesday afternoon, police detectives were still busy investigating the cause on Wednesday. Another tank was emptied overnight. The business premises remain closed.
At around 1 p.m., a hydrogen tank exploded on an industrial estate in Lebring. According to the police, a 39-year-old employee who was standing in a shed near the tank with several hundred liters of hydrogen that exploded outside at the time of the explosion was taken to the Regional Hospital in Wagna with minor injuries.
Witnesses reported a dull bang and a huge blast of pressure that would have been felt even miles away. On the company premises itself, the force of the explosion sent various parts flying through the air.
