Dozens of people were evacuated from nearby homes and businesses, according to NBC Philadelphia.The cause of the blast was not immediately known. Authorities said the fire was brought under control just before 11 p.m. Dispatchers said the body of a Philadelphia Gas Works employee reported unaccounted for earlier was being taken to the medical examiner's office.
What happened was terrible. How don't they know what really happened? Gas works should be sued for what had happened. Those people did not deserve to have that happen to him. But what do you do, Gas Works should be closed down in that area until they find out what malfunction occured.
