Explosion Kills Six At Colombian Power Plant

CARTAGENA, Colombia (Reuters) - Six people including a German engineer were killed and 21 others were hurt when a transformer exploded during routine maintenance at a power plant in northern Colombia Sunday, authorities said.

The 66,000 kilowatt generator blew up at the TermoCartagena electricity plant in the southwestern suburbs of the Caribbean coast resort of Cartagena, plant manager Jose Rodon said.

Hernando Maturana, head of the city firefighters' department, named the dead German as Gutter Agge, an employee of German engineering firm Siemens. His age and home town were not given.

The blast cut off power supplies to Cartagena and surrounding towns and villages and sent a cloud of toxic gas into the air. The area around the power plant was cordoned off until the fumes dispersed, Maturana said.
