A Cooper University Hospital spokesperson confirmed to CBS News that they received three patients, including two trauma patients. Another patient was sent to a hospital in Philadelphia.
The explosion took place at Savita Naturals, located at 617 Heron Drive, CBS reported.
The family-owned specialty oil extraction company focused on cannabis is listed as “temporarily closed” on Google.
Savita Naturals said on its website that it uses propane solvent extraction methods to extract oil, which is highly flammable and combustible.
Sweet fuck that’s the nightmare!
Hope everyone’s ok, propane is intense!

This video shows the damage to the building. It’s toast.
I hope all involved make full recoveries. If this happened in an occupied booth, the chances of everyone being OK seem pretty slim.
Nypost has the company listed as a “coco butter” processing company that also processes “some CBD”.
One might take this quote from their website to imply that they were processing or aiming to process more than 1000lb a day.
Most artisanal extractors and some moderate scale operators (those who process less than 1,000 pounds of biomass per day) utilize butane or propane extraction technology
WTF are those huge tanks about?!?
Curious how much we eventually learn.
Be safe out there folks!
