“All employees and people who were in the facility have been evacuated with no injuries,” Pepsi-Co reportedly said in a statement, adding the fire was under investigation.

Two firefighters, though, were injured while fighting the flames.

One “Black Box” Found, Amid Rubble of Chinese Plane Crash that Killed 132

Chinese emergency workers have found one of the two “black boxes,” which record flight data and pilots’ communications, from the China Eastern Airlines plane that crashed on Monday: killing 132 people onboard.

The black box device, which is actually bright orange, that was recovered is likely the plane's cockpit voice recorder, but it is severely damaged, a Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) official said.

Chinese officials do not know what caused the plane to nose-dive into a mountainous region in the Guangxi Province in China, but the black box could provide some answers. Chinese leader Xi Jinping has ordered a full investigation of the deadly plane crash.
