WICHITA, Kan. — More than a dozen people were injured Friday when a nitrogen line ruptured at the Beechcraft aircraft manufacturing facility in Wichita, Kansas, causing part of the building to collapse, authorities said. John Gallagher, the county's emergency medical services director, said 11 people were taken to hospitals and four were treated at the scene. Worker Robert Baker said he was inside the building when the explosion occurred but was on the opposite side of the facility. “There was dust and debris, even from the other side," said Baker, 36, who has worked at the plant for about a month. “Dirt in the air permeating through the walls coming down the hallways and stuff like that.”
