Explosion at Washington State Dam Injures Six Employees

An explosion at a dam in central Washington state Thursday afternoon injured six employees, NBC News reported. The workers were transported to area hospitals — some by ambulance, others by airlift — according to the Grant County Sheriff's Office.
 
A problem with electrical equipment caused the bast at the Priest Rapids Dam, which runs along the Columbia River, the sheriff's office said. The blast did not affect the stability of the dam and officials said there was no danger to the public.
