Two people have been killed and more remain missing after a large explosion ripped through an apartment building in a Maryland suburb of Washington.
At least 34 people, including three firefighters, have been injured. Residents are reported to have suffered burns from the blaze and fractures from jumping out of windows.
Montgomery County Police Assistant Chief Russ Hamill announced two people were killed in the blast in Silver Spring during a media conference on Thursday morning.
The explosion was also declared a 'mass casualty incident', and added the building is still in 'extremely dangerous condition'.

Two dead, several missing and 34 injured after an explosion ripped through an apartment block in a Washington DC suburb - forcing residents to leap from their windows as it set off huge blaze
Probably a gas leak.
Washington D.C.?
I’m going with Meth Lab...
Most likely. After all, there is NO terror threat in the U.S. Whatever a terrorist is.
Didn’t Bill Ayer’s Weather Underground accidentally blow up a townhouse in Greenwich Village?

There you see; the media is not only biased but actually explosive.
Three possibilities:
1) Gas leak
2) Meth lab blows up (as you indicate)
3) Or, depending on the occupants, homemade bomb factory goes kaboom
While options 1 and 2 are more likely, you can’t rule out #3, either.
Any DNC staffers in that list?
Spent a little time in the Maryland area in the past and if I remember correctly, that area has a high Hispanic population. I’ll go with gas leak.
I live close to the area. Low income housing. Mostly Hispanic. Mostly illegal.
I see what you did there. Lol.
Is Bill Ayers in town?
His Weathermen group blew up a building while constructing a bomb.
If it turns out to be #3, then there will be weeks of discussion about “motives” and whether or when the occupants were “radicalized”.
“Work accident”
Correct. People forget if natural gas leaks and explodes in a confined space, it explodes like a fuel-air bomb—not much will be left, we’ve seen several times over the years in New York City whenever a gas leak causes an apartment building explosion.
Butane accident from someone making wax?
