Six people were arrested overnight following a huge blast at a steel plant near the western city of Izmir that killed 17 workers. Grieving families waited on Tuesday to receive their loved ones’ bodies for burial.
Onlookers said Monday’s massive explosion felt like “an earthquake” when it ripped through the HABAS steel factory in Aliaga, a district 60 kilometers (37 miles) north of Izmir known for shipbreaking and heavy industry.
Police have detained six people in connection with the blast.
