A devoted dad has been identified as one of the two steel workers killed from an explosion at a Pennsylvania steel plant on Monday, officials said.

The explosion, followed by several smaller blasts, could be felt in the nearby community and prompted county officials to warn residents to stay away from the scene so emergency workers could respond.

“It is with profound sadness that I share with you that the U. S. Steel colleague who had been unaccounted for has been located and confirmed deceased, following an extensive search and rescue effort," David Burritt, the company's CEO, said in a statement. At least 10 people were injured in the blast, officials said.
