Ali İhsan Elmacı, who came to the factory to get information about his villager who lost his life in the explosion, said, "An explosion has occurred. They have not yet made a statement about the cause. I was the production manager in this factory 5 years ago. I retired. Our villager Muhammet Ergin was the shift supervisor. They are investigating how a sensitive explosive was involved. They say lightning struck, but they have all the precautions against lightning strikes. The factory is covered with a Faraday cage. It is a factory with strict security measures."

It is named "Faraday cage" after the English physicist Michael Faraday, who invented it in 1836.
