About

The owner of a THC extraction business is facing two charges of first-degree murder after an explosion last week at his facility in Oklahoma killed two people.

Emergency crews last Thursday responded to the blast near Sand Springs, Oklahoma. According to KTUL, the explosion was strong enough to completely blow out the ceiling and walls of the facility while damaging 25 nearby businesses. One employee was found dead at the scene and another died later from injuries sustained during the blast.
