Authorities initially said one employee was killed and up to 35 people, including seven firefighters, were injured when two blasts erupted Monday morning inside the Verla International plant in the town of New Windsor, 88 kilometers north of New York City.
A spokeswoman for St. Luke's Cornwall Hospital says today that the number of people treated increased substantially late yesterday, with more than 125 reporting injuries. Officials say most were treated for non-life-threatening injuries and released.
State and local authorities are trying to determine what triggered the blasts.
