Part of a building appeared to have been sheared off, and rubble littered the area.Two people are missing, the Allegheny County Police Department said in a statement. Local hospitals said at least nine people were being treated for injuries from the explosion.\u201cWe were on lunch, and we felt an explosion,\u201d said Ronnie Fordyce, who said he works at the plant but was far away from the location where the explosion occurred. \u201cThen we went outside and saw the smoke.\u201dFew details were available on the extent of the injuries or what caused the explosion near the northern end of the plant, a sprawling facility covering hundreds of acres on the west bank of the Monongahela River southeast of Pittsburgh.\u201cWe\u2019re up to about 15 ambulances,\u201d with outside agencies assisting local fire and police departments, said Kasey Reigner, a spokeswoman for Allegheny County Emergency Services.Search and rescue teams were at the scene of the explosion, where some people were trapped under the rubble, according to Abigail Gardner, a spokeswoman for Allegheny County. She said some people at the plant had been critically injured while others had minor wounds.The county\u2019s health department urged people within one mile of the explosion to remain indoors.Zachary Buday, a construction worker, said he was doing masonry work at a job site in Clairton, less than half a mile away from the plant, when he felt the explosion.\u201cIt was a shock wave,\u201d Mr. Buday said. \u201cIt almost took the air out of your chest.\u201dA spokeswoman for the Allegheny Health Network, which runs several hospitals in the area, said five patients were taken to its hospital closest to the scene and that two other trauma center hospitals received one patient each. Two more patients were taken to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.Butch Michaels, who works at Hometown Burgers and Deli next to the plant, said he felt the building shake, and thought at first that it was from a construction site next to the deli. But his manager told him the explosion was too strong for that. \u201cIt blew our front door open,\u201d Mr. Michaels said.\n \n Got a confidential news tip?\u00a0The New York Times would like to hear from readers who want to share messages and materials with our journalists.See how to send a secure message at nytimes.com\/tipsBernie Hall, who leads the United Steelworkers union in Pennsylvania, said in a statement that the union would seek a \u201cthorough investigation\u201d and provide its members with support.U.S. Steel did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the explosion.The company\u2019s website says that the plant is the largest coke manufacturing facility in the United States. Coke, made by heating coal, is used in the steel-making process.The Clairton Plant operates ten coke oven batteries and produces approximately 4.3 million tons of coke annually, according to U.S. Steel\u2019s website.Senator John Fetterman, Democrat of Pennsylvania, told reporters on Monday that the explosion \u201creminds everybody how dangerous of a job it is to make steel here.\u201d\u201cIt\u2019s just absolutely tragic,\u201d he said.In a statement on social media, Mr. Fetterman added that he and his aides were \u201ctracking this explosion and waiting for more information\u201d and he urged the public to avoid the area.\u201cKeeping those injured and all who are impacted in my thoughts right now,\u201d he said.Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania said on social media that his administration was in contact with officials in Clairton. The State Police and state emergency management officials had offered assistance, he said.\u201cThe scene is still active, and folks nearby should follow the direction of local authorities,\u201d Mr. Shapiro said.Billy Witz, Pooja Salhotra and Neil Vigdor contributed reporting.
