INTERNATIONAL: A fire at a Walmart Distribution Center spewed out a large and dense dark cloud of smoke on Wednesday,March 16, in Plainfield, Indiana.

How the blaze got started Wednesday still wasn’t clear, but, luckily, the 1,000 employees at this Walmart distribution center made it out safely. A firefighter received what was described as a minor injury.

Some employees say the lack of injuries is because of emergency training the employees had just a few days before Wednesday’s fire.

“We thought it was another training until we were out and we saw the black smoke coming out from the roof,” one of the employees has said.

“We didn’t see smoke when we were outside and then when we heard the noise, which was like a crisp explosion, that’s when we got scared and we all started running,” another employee recalls.

The fire has started on the second floor, from the area that is specifically for keeping chemicals and products related to chemicals.

A derailed bullet train was seen on a bridge, which had sections of concrete eroded from its pillars. A local cultural centre had parts of its roof littered over seats inside an auditorium.

Four people have died and at least 107 people were reported injured, several seriously, with 4,300 households also still without water by mid-morning.

The temblor has revived memories of Japan's biggest quake, of magnitude 9.1, which struck on March 11, 2011 in the same area and which includes Fukushima prefecture and a nuclear power plant crippled by a tsunami and meltdown.
