CHICAGO -- An explosion was reported Wednesday evening at the Ford City Mall, located at 76th and Cicero. Police spokesman Carlos Herrera says the explosion occurred near a Pearle Vision store in the mall. The mall was evacuated.
One woman who was inside the mall spoke with NBC5 over the phone after the explosion. "I was inside the mall and we were shopping there, and we heard the big explosion, which happened at about 8:30 (p.m.). Everybody ran outside the mall, the alarm went off," the woman said. "There's about 100 square feet that's blowed up."
Initial reports indicated that several cars were overturned, and several people were hurt. The witness said she saw "a lot" of injured people.
Emergency crews were dispatched to the scene, and a Level 1 hazmat situation was declared. Five ambulances were also sent to the mall. Several people have been taken to area hospitals.

One of the first things I thought of after finding that article was the Chicago incident. "Old School" techniques also remind me of the rash of high-rise and apartment explosions in Russia over the last few years. Also in the UK, if my memory is serving me correctly at this late hour.
