Terrible Fire in Alexandria

Alexandria woke up today on a huge fire at the Alexandria Petroleum Company at El-Max area.  The fire was resulted from a huge explosion that terrified the citizens in the neighborhood to the level that they have left their houses and stayed in the street. I do not know what caused that explosion yet but surely the lack of industrial security is to be blamed.
Here are photos from Alex News , Al Masry Al Youm and Amal Al Omma.net.
The number of casualties is not clear yet , already there is a contradiction in details , at first Reuters says that 3 workers were dead then later it pulled the news after receiving confirmation from the company that there was no fatal casualties but only 6 injuries !! "Via mtwfeeq"
According to Al Jazeera report the workers say that the number of casualties was larger than what the company claims.
Here are videos from the video from Ahmed Karam and Ghonam 'You tube'









I believe the APCo. is a public oil company.
