View taken on July 31, 2009, shows a foundry in the Normandy town of Villedieu-les-Poele, where forty-six people, invited to watch a special casting of a church bell, were injured when an explosion showered them with molten bronze. The visitors had been invited to watch the smelting works of a 6.3-tonne bell for a church in Mulhouse, eastern France, when the blast occurred around midday, said the foundry's director Paul Bergamo. One of the few remaining bell-manufacturing foundries in the world, the Cornille-Havard factory often organises public demonstrations at its smelters for tourists and clients.
