QUOTE(dr914@autoatlanta.com @ Apr 10 2019, 05:14 PM)  I sure hope that the news report was wrong and no one was killed!!!!! Sadly the owner of the coffee shop that exploded was the one fatality. 25 other people including 9 firefighters were injured. Luckily the gas leak had been detected and they were able to evacuate everyone from the building and surrounding areas before the explosion, so there were no other fatalities. 15 buildings were damaged. That's a busy area in Durham, a lot of great restaurants on that street. The cause was some contractors drilling and hitting a 2-inch gas line. They probably didn't call 811 before they started digging. https://www.wral.com/officials-owner-last-p...actor/18320082/ |

Sad for the loss of life, all those injuryed and one person was transported to the UNC Burn Center, a very painful injury, for a long time. |
