    Explosion Hit Airbus Plant in France

    29.05.2006 15:37 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ An explosion hit an Airbus factory in southern
    France on Monday, injuring at least five people, emergency officials
    said. The reason for the blast was unclear. Two people suffered
    serious injuries, according to the regional fire and rescue
    department. Rescue teams surrounded the aircraft plant, in the city of
    Toulouse in the French Pyrenees.


    According to preliminary data, the explosion happened in a building
    containing a hydraulic press, what caused the building to
    collapse. The cause of the blast, which occurred at 7:45 a.m. (0545
    GMT), was not immediately clear, said Associated Press.

    Toulouse is home to Airbus Industry, one of the world's two largest
    manufacturers of commercial airliners.

    To remind, on the night of May 3 Airbus-320 belonging to Armavia
    national carrier crashed in the Black Sea 6 km away from Adler airport
    killing all of 113 people aboard, including 6 children and 8
    crewmembers. Among them were 26 Russian citizens, one Ukrainian and
    one Georgian citizen, while the rest were Armenian citizens.
