Nine people in Colorado were injured, one of them critically when a natural gas explosion destroyed a Denver "fourplex" apartment home.
Two people were rescued from inside the building, no one else was believed to be inside but a thorough search is being conducted to be certain.
A witness said he smelled gas in the area as he was walking to the store just before the explosion sent bricks flying into the street.

My Commentary:
I'm absolutely amazed no one died here.
The picture looks like a building that was a hit by a tornado.
I hope the person who was critically injured pulls through and I really hope their insurance is going to help with a new place to live because that place is DONE.
Good work by the first responders getting everyone out and safely to the hospital.
Crazy that there was such a large explosion, what was going on inside? Please check out my Op:Ed if you have time today. Cheers
Well, they are still investigating but initial appearances would be a natural gas leak. Hopefully, they will do a follow-up as I am curious myself.
Will check out your Op-Ed right now...
