Pretty soon we should find out the cuase, but at this time its unknown what happened, but a multitude of injuries. The report didnt say if anyone was killed.

Probably another gas main explosion

How much you want to bet?

Just like all these oil refineries that all have "mysterious blasts"in the same week, all coincidences according to our government.

CNN is reporting that Peoples’ Gas is on the scene as well as firefighters.

When I first heard this I thought gas explosion. It seems it might be though they are not saying yet if it is or not.

It is reported that at least five or six people are hospitalized. They are searching the ruble for others at the moment.
