Killer Explosion

Officials from B.C. Gas are investigating an explosion which ripped through a Vancouver home and claimed a life. The afternoon blast was so powerful it blew a kitchen chair onto the front lawn. Fire battalion chief Ed Sauve says there are strong signs an accelerant such as natural gas was the cause of the fire. There were flames coming out of every window and every door. Two elderly people lived in the home and one body has been recovered.
