Across from my home at the ET Works, there’s a new memorial of the lost lives of steelworkers—a powerful testament of their vital, difficult, and dangerous job.

We all grieve for the loss at Clairton yesterday and are keeping those families in our hearts.

UPDATE:

I’m still here at the Clairton Coke Works talking with workers, officials, and the community.

At least 1 confirmed dead, 10 injured, search and rescue still underway, air is safe but remain inside, and this is still an active scene.

UPDATE:

I was just on-site at the Clairton Coke Works.

I’ve been talking with USW and US Steel officials to get more information.

There is an active search and rescue underway, dozens injured, and per police there’s at least one unaccounted for.

My team and I are tracking this explosion and waiting for more information.

For those in the area, please listen to local officials and avoid the area.

Keeping those injured and all who are impacted in my thoughts right now.
