Three people are dead, three are injured, and six others are still missing after a hydroelectric plant exploded yesterday in central Italy. The Bargi Power Plant is located next to Lake Suvianna, an artificial lake in the Apennine Mountains, and it suffered from an underground explosion. According to local officials, during work on some turbines that were nine levels underground, there was an issue that blasted the entire area. The upper floors of the plant were not damaged, but drone views showed clouds of smoke billowing from the site. They say it is almost impossible to determine the cause, as the evidence was located over 100 feet underground. In addition, as the plant is located next to a lake, the water has flooded into the explosion area, washing away any evidence that could have possibly survived the blast. However, the search is still on for the six missing workers who have not been found, despite efforts to find them for over a day now.
