Los Angeles firefighters walk past shattered windows and debris Wednesday after an explosion ripped through the Imperial Toy Corp. factory in downtown Los Angeles. Four workers were killed and at least 25 others were injured at the block-long factory. The explosion originated from a machine that packages caps for play pistols. The company makes more than 600 types of toys, including marbles, soap bubbles, jump ropes, balls and soldiers. The facility was closed after company officials were able to account for all 150 employees.
