Two of the five workers killed in Monday’s explosion at Hanwha Aerospace’s Daejeon plant had a family member working at the same location. One family lost a father, the other a son — in both cases, the surviving relative still works at the site.
One was an employee in his 50s whose son also works there. The other was a nonregular worker in his 20s, killed on his 96th day with the company, whose father works there, according to police, fire authorities and the Yuseong District Office in Daejeon. The plant produces rocket propellant and was the site of fatal explosions in both 2018 and 2019.
