A massive explosion demolished a Maryland apartment building Thursday morning, leaving 10 people injured, several missing and about 100 displaced as crews searched through charred debris.
Of the 10 people hospitalized, three had serious injuries after the fiery blast wrecked a four-story apartment building in Silver Spring, just outside Washington, D.C., Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service Chief Scott Goldstein said at a Thursday afternoon news conference.
Goldstein said several people were unaccounted for, adding that K-9 units had alerted that there may be bodies or survivors trapped under the rubble at Friendly Garden Apartments. He said heavy machinery will be needed to remove large debris and a remaining wall.
