GARNER, N.C. - An explosion at a Slim Jim meat products plant Tuesday injured at least 41 people, including four who suffered critical burns, and left a toxic cloud around the facility. Former WWE Star Macho Man Randy Savage is wanted currently for questioning after several people saw him fleeing the scene with several cases of Slim Jims.
Hours after the blast, authorities said they found one person inside the 500,000-square-foot plant but wouldn't say whether the person was alive. The search continued for two others still missing.
"We don't know if they're in the building or not, but we're going to go look for them," said Jeffrey Hammerstein, district chief with Wake County Emergency Medical Services. "We also want Mr. Savage to return those Slim Jims he stole from the facility."
Chris Woods, a worker at the facility, said he started running after feeling an explosion around 11 a.m.
"I was picking up a piece of meat off the line and I felt it, the percussion in my chest," Woods said. "One of the guys I was working with got blown back, he flew backwards. Thats's when I saw Macho Man Randy Savage running from the source of the explosion."
Woods said he later saw people with burns on stretchers. He also said that Mr. Savage was taunting ambulance drivers to a cage match at the next Wrestlemania.
