CTI will not be posting updates in this forum on Jeroen's health out of respect for him and his family as they endure the recovery process.
Things are a little different here.CTI- thank you for the update. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help Jeroen- either financially or emotionally. I hope his recovery is full, and that he can return to rocketry in the near future.

Medicals bills are covered by Ontario Health Insurance and as this was a work related accident, Worker's Compensation Board will handle most of the loss of income. Both are government run programs.
As we don't know the extent of the injuries, we do not know the financial drain on those injured.

Any word yet about a fund for our friend?
Anyone?
There was a post in one of these threads that stated it wasn't necessary or needed.
Wow, Gustav. The fact that you are still in rocketry after something like that says a lot about your character.
I talked to Janny his wife last week in Toronto and Jeroen is still on intensive care, and will be there for a long time. He has 3 degree burns over 75% of his body, which means a 50% chance of survival. He has had some operations already and will have many more, he will take years to recover, not to mention the mental problems that occur with injuries like this. He however is in the best care possible in the best possible Canadian Hospital, but still sedated and on a breather system. If you want to support him and his family, please send in a card to CTI (address see website of CTI) and address it to Sandi White or Nicole Kasper and they will take care that it arrives to his family. I will keep you updated as Jeroen recovers as am in contact with his family.Then on the other two wounded, they have recovered, but are not at work yet as they are processing the whole accident mentally as is understandable.
CTI is working hard to find the cause of the incident, and in total four independent investigations are going on.
CTI is also making a inventory of their ProX stock, as new and backlog production will at least take 6 to 12 months. Dealers will be contacted soon what is possible to deliver in the meantime, this will be however offered to dealers in a way so not one dealer buys up everything to give all dealers a fair chance to serve their customers. CIT is looking to all options to start production again as soon as possible, but this could take some time. As there however is a backlog it is advisable to put orders in to get a place on the backlog list as time progresses.
This message got posted to the Tripoli Rocketry Association FB page earlier today by Frank de Brouwer:
Mr. de Brower’s statements are not accurate. Firstly, the incident did not involve the HPR mix building. It occurred in another facility on the property that processes large caliber, high volume motors for commercial/military applications. As we indicated in our initial release, no other facilities or the main plant were affected. CTI continues to operate on a 24/7 basis. Any reference made to time periods would refer to certain non-HPR, long lead time articles that were damaged in that particular facility and stated out of context.
As stated previously, this matter is still under investigation. In addition, any information regarding our products or plans of this nature are not provided to third parties for public release and Mr de Brower is no exception, nor does he represent CTI. These announcements will come directly from CTI at the appropriate time. Again as stated previously, we will not be making any statements regarding the progress of Dr. Louwers as we respect his and his family’s privacy.
Thank you.
CTI.
