we know what the chemical is not going to talk too much about the chemical at this time it's something our hazmat people are looking at, but the fact is that because this is in a laboratory and i make the assumption it's a chemical they use for some type process but beyond that we can't say much about it. >> are we talking about try. >> you've been listening to the state foyer marshal run down what happened at dow chemical in north andover. an explosion in a lab injuring workers. he describes this as stale very he active scene and they haven't been -- still a very he active scene and they he haven't been able to access the lab. but looks as the 40 haz met personnel that showed up helped the people injured and they still need to secure the area. >> and the state fire marshal saying 4 people critically injured were able to walk to an ambulance and they were later where they are being treated right now. it's a story we will continue to follow and have much more coming up. we will take quick break and see you in a moment. dear fellow citizen, i know what it' s like to buy a house. i know h

that was all the chemicals that were left over from the explosion that happened at the dow chemical facy yesterday in not andover. you can imagine if you were handling those chemicals as part of your job and that explosion happened near you? that is the chemical that did that on those four people at the dow facility yesterday. that sent them to the hospital with critical injuries. you can only imagine that is chemical. we have our coverage now from our reporters there on the scene who is going to tell us what is ive. we have steve cooper live from our sky 7 video, what are you seeing from where you are? >> reporter: we can tell you going on for several hours here at the dow chemical plant in north andover. as you mentioned u.just a day after those four employees were seriously injured. three remain in boston hospitals one in lawrence general hospital at this hour but crews have been here all day. this area remained sealed off and a short time ago the state police bomb squad along with the state fire marshall's office in north andover fire fighters left here with a bit of a police es esto

back in 2013 there was also a fatal chemical explosion here involving the chemical trimethylindium so a different chemical than what we are hearing today. in that instance a worker was burned over 50% of his body and was killed. we are expecting a news conference here from state fire marshal stephen cohen and local fire official to give us a update on what happened this afternoon. we will bring it to you live. ken macleod, wbz news. >> thank you. >>> also breaking wall streetseeing the worst drop in three months. because of ongoing concerns about china's can i. the markets -- economy. for the markets it was the wort start to the year. >> now at 5:0. >> it's -- 5:0. >> it's scarry -- 5:30. >> it's scary i am glad he is gone. >> an i-team investigation reveals a principal quit after police caught him in an online sting. >> investigators say he was trying to chat with a 13-year- old girl and won't facecrl nam charges. but as christina hagger reports he is out of a -- hager reports he is out of a job. >> reporter: a letter was sent to the parents about the former principal ed rozmiarek us
