State and federal investigators are responding to the VA Medical Center in West Haven, Brian Foley, a top aide to state Public Safety Commissioner James Rovella, said in a text message to The Associated Press. He cited “an explosion type incident” with “serious injuries.
The television station WTNH reported that smoke could be seen rising from the building.

You have to have fuel and oxygen is not a fuel.
Happened at a hospital in Miami my wife worked at, too. But nobody said anything ‘cuz the doctor smoking his cigar the hospital was also major funder of the hospital! Fortunately, nothing ever blew up.
But this was apparently a steam explosion. Apparently Dihydrogen Monoxide steam is dangerous stuff!
Only when it is mixed with Hydrogen Hydroxide.
Oh, my. Prayers.
