An 18-story building partially collapsed after an explosion in the historic center of Rio de Janeiro Wednesday, state media reported.
At least two people were killed and 11 others were missing, CNN affiliate Band News reported, citing city Civil Defense officials.
"I started to hear a crackling. I thought they were gunshots. When I looked up, I saw the top floors falling," maintenance worker Julio Cesar de Oliveira Brandao told CNN affiliate TV Record.
