Fireball, black smoke seen from manufacturing plant incident in Edmonton

A loud bang Friday morning for people in southeast Edmonton that led to walls shaking and windows rattling after what they felt like an explosion.

It happened at the site of a chemical manufacturing plant called Celanese.

Officials from Celanese confirmed to CityNews that their Alberta site experienced a manufacturing upset that resulted in the opening of a relief device.

A video posted on social media shows what appears to be a large fireball, followed by a plume of black smoke.

Celanese says no employees or contractors were injured and there is no threat to the community.
