BioLanda Explosion: New Documentary Video and Investigation Updates

At dawn on January 26, an explosion at the BioLanda biscuit factory in Trikala claimed the lives of five female workers. The blast—triggered by a months-long propane leak—was felt up to 5 kilometers away, shaking nearby villages including Agnantero. Live News obtained exclusive security footage from a closed shop in Agnantero capturing the shockwave. Investigations continue as expert teams and fire service units carefully collect evidence from the ruins, including sections of the leaking propane network for forensic analysis. Propane levels have now dropped to safe thresholds after operations were halted due to explosion risk. The mother of victim Elena Katsarou revealed she had warned the factory owner days before the tragedy about the strong, toilet-like odor—warnings reportedly dismissed. She demands accountability: ‘Only those responsible must pay.’ Her emotional plea underscores the urgent need for justice for all victims who went to work expecting safety—not tragedy.
