BBC News reported that at least two Foxconn employees have been killed and 16 injured in a plant explosion. The industrial accident occurred on a production line for Apple's iPad 2 in Chengdu, China. The reasons for the explosion are not clear at this time.
Foxconn is Apple's main manufacturing contractor, producing the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad, as well as Amazon's Kindle. At least 13 Foxconn workers killed themselves last year by jumping from the roof of one of Foxconn's building.
Will Steve Jobs immediately fly to Chengdu to investigate the situation first hand? Don't hold your breath.
