Seventeen people were injured at a U.S. Steel plant near Pittsburgh when an oven exploded Wednesday, emergency officials said.

According to Allegheny County spokesman Kevin Evanto said the powerful blast in the coke oven at United States STeel Corp.’s Clairton Coke Works happened shortly after 9:30 a.m. Wednesday. Most of the workers suffered burns, Evanto said.

“It’s a miracle that anybody even walked away from that,” Allegheny County Emergency Services Chief Bob Full said.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration had a team of investigators on the site looking into the cause of the explosion. Allegheny County Air Quality Program manager Jim Thompson said a large cloud of smoke seen at the plant and other factors indicate the explosion may have been caused by the gas used to heat one of the coke ovens.
