Two workers at Porsche’s spray painting facility in Zuffenhausen, Germany have been injured in an explosion. Both workers have been hospitalized, thankfully we can report that there have been no fatalitites.

The cause of the explosion is unknown but reports suggest that it set off the sprinkler systems at the production facility, which in turn will see production of the 911 halt for some 2-3 days, or 320 to 480 units of production.
