Three workers are believed dead after an explosion at a chemical plant in Waukegan, about 40 miles (64 km) north of Chicago, late on May 3, the Associated Press reported, citing local authorities. Steven Lenzi, Waukegan fire marshal, said crews had suspended their search for the employees missing at the AB Specialty Silicones LLC plant and that it was "not likely' anyone survived the blast. The Chicago Sun-Times reported one body had been recovered.
