Glasgow blast destroys factory

An explosion at a plastics factory in Glasgow has caused the four-storey building to collapse.

It housed ICL Plastics and Scotline Plastics at Grovepark Mills, in Maryhill.

Survivors suggested an industrial oven caused the blast. Four people were killed, 40 injured and up to a dozen were still missing last night.
