Factory in Indonesia – level 2

30-10-2017 15:00

A firecracker factory in Indonesia exploded with 103 workers inside. Forty-seven people died, 46 were injured, and many people are still unaccounted for.

There was an enormous fire after the explosion. The fire crews did their best, but the roof of the building collapsed.

Difficult words: firecracker (a loud, explosive firework – a little bomb for fun), unaccounted for (we do not know where they are and if they are alive), enormous (very big).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
