The Carlos Spegazzini Industrial Complex in Ezeiza was shaken on Friday night by a violent explosion followed by a massive fire. The incident, which could have originated in a Logischem warehouse and spread to several nearby companies (such as Iron Mountain, Larroca Minera, and Sinteplast), caused massive structural damage to the facilities and even affected homes in nearby neighborhoods due to the shock wave.

Given the scale of the disaster, more than one containment operation was deployed 500 workers, 70 firefighters, Federal Police, Buenos Aires and Civil Defense personnel. Despite the state of emergency, the civil defense authorities in Buenos Aires confirmed that the situation had not gotten out of control at all for the residents and ruled out the risk of a toxic cloud, although they warned of the presence of particles suspended in the air.

The size of the explosion that occurred in the industrial complex was so large that its effects were felt in very remote areas. Neighbors from neighboring municipalities and distant neighborhoods within Al-Aziza claimed that they noticed shaking in their homes.
