UPDATES AT BOTTOM OF POST -
I got batted around a little bit last night for jumping to the conclusion that this was a terror-related incident. I don't blame people for saying I'm jumping to conclusions. Because, I am.
I have a hair-trigger on this stuff, because we have been lied to quite a bit lately. Just within the last week, we have learned that the Denver Police ruled a suicide in the case of an indigent man who was found dead after being holed up for six days in a posh hotel with a pound of cyanide. That's an elaborate way for a homeless man to kill himself, don't you think?
Yet, the Denver Police ruled that it was NOT TERROR-RELATED. And, as far as I know, the FBI is not investigating the incident.
And then, just a couple days later, we find that an Egyptian man on Long Island, was building and testing an unmanned drone aircraft, designed to carry a 600 lb. payload.
Once again, that incident was ruled to be NOT TERROR-RELATED.
So yes, I have a hair-trigger. And, it looks like I may have been right in this case as well.

AP: 2 dead from chemical exposure at plant in Ill.
Two people have died after exposure to a dangerous chemical at a storage and mixing plant, a city official said Sunday.
At least eight people were sickened by exposure to the chemical on Saturday, and emergency rooms were quarantined at two St. Louis hospitals where those people sought treatment.
In a statement issued early Sunday, East St. Louis City Manager Robert Betts said two people had died.
The chemical was released when a barrel was dropped at the Ro-Corp. plant. The lid popped off the barrel and a white powder came out, said Fire Chief Jim Silvernail from Mehlville, Mo.
"It's like what would happen if you drop flour — it got all over them," Silvernail said.
The eight men who were at the plant sought treatment at several hospitals in the area, with some of them driving themselves, officials said.
Betts told KSDK-TV in St. Louis that the FBI would investigate because of the nature of the exposure. He said it wasn't certain that the employees had permission to be at the company on a Saturday.
EARLIER UPDATED POST HERE... (WITH EVOLUTION OF THE STORY FROM THE START.)
IF THEY WERE IN THE PLANT WITHOUT PERMISSION, THEN WHY... AND WHAT WERE THEY TRYING TO DO WITH THIS VERY DANGEROUS CHEMICAL?
WHAT ARE THEIR NAMES?!?!?!?!?
WHY WON'T THEY RELEASE THEIR NAMES?

Nitro Compounds Any of a class of chemical compounds in which the nitro group (-NO2) forms part of the molecular structure. The most common examples are organic compounds, isomers of nitrite esters in which a carbon atom is linked by a covalent bond to the nitro group's nitrogen atom.
Many nitro compounds are commercially used as explosives solvents, or raw materials and chemical intermediates. They are generally made by a reaction between nitric acid and an organic compound.
about the chemical involved
The compound is toxic by way of inhalation, ingestion, and absorption, and should be handled with care. Its LD50 in rats is 750 mg/kg when administered orally.
