The two explosions at Silo 110 of the plant formed a crater 90 m by 125 m wide and 19 m deep. The explosions were heard as two loud bangs in north-eastern France and in München, more than 300 km away, and are estimated to have contained an energy of 1–2 kilotonnes TNT equivalent. Over 2.000 people were injured. According to some descriptions only 10% of the 4.500 tonnes of fertilizer stored in the silo detonated in the incident.

34-year-old serial killer Joel Rifkin aka The Long Island Ripper is arrested after a police-hunt because of a missing number-plate on his Mazda pick-up in Southern State Parkway, Mineola, New York, United States. A high-speed chase ended in Mineola when he crashed into a utility pole directly in front of the courthouse where Rifkin eventually stood trial. Troopers detected a foul odor from the back of the truck. It came from the corpse of 22-year-old prostitute and dancer Tiffany Bresciani, the girlfriend of Dave Rubinstein aka Dave Insurgent, a member of the 1980s punk band Reagan Youth), Rifkin's final victim.
