A devastating gas explosion rocked a high-rise apartment building in the Bronx of New York City. This killed one person and injured 14 others, all while firefighters were already inside investigating reports of a gas odor.
This tragedy hit just before 12:30 AM, making for a truly awful night as temperatures plunged into the single digits. It’s hard to imagine the panic of residents leaning out of windows calling for help as flames engulfed the top floors in that kind of bitter cold.
