explosion in a large South Los Angeles commercial building has hurled people into the street, wedging some beneath parked cars.
Fire Capt. Steve Ruda says a violent natural gas explosion shook the two-story building housing a welding operation at 6:15 a.m. Friday and the front of the structure collapsed. There were victims in the street when 100 firefighters arrived.
The explosion blew three people into the street.
Ruda told KNX news radio that people were hurled out of the building and were wedged under parked cars when firefighters arrived.
They are hospitalized in unknown condition.
The fire was extinguished in 25 minutes and the department's urban search and rescue team was called in to search the collapsed structure for possible victims.
