A shocking explosion in Wichita, Kansas, rattled the workers of Beechcraft of Textron Aviation on Friday morning (December 27).

The explosion happened approximately at 8 a.m. when a 3-inch nitrogen gas line ruptured.

John Gallagher, Sedgwick County EMS Director, says 11 people were taken to hospitals and four were treated at the scene.

"I walked out of the freezer I was in after hearing the explosion and noticed a chunk of metal that was smoking and rolling around," said the filmer. "[...] I went outside with a few co-workers and immediately pulled out my phone when I saw the massive cloud of smoke and water shooting up well above 40 feet in the air, we were evacuated shortly after."

I was working in building 20 which is the Hazardous Materials building about 200 meters from the Nitrogen Tank that exploded around 8am central time. I walked out of the freezer I was in after hearing the explosion and noticed a chunk of metal that was smoking and rolling around and it was frozen. There was a joke in the side of the building from where it came through barely missing a gas line that was outside. I went outside with a few co-workers and immediately pulled out my phone when I saw the massive cloud of smoke and water shooting up well above 40 feet in the air. We were evacuated shortly after.
