Explosion in CA

One person was killed Tuesday and three others injured in an explosion in a medical building in Aliso Viejo, California, authorities said. The explosion burst walls and windows, bringing great damage to the first floor of the two story building. Debris was also thrown outside the building in the blast. No explosives have been found, nor is there evidence that this was a gas leak. Authorities are looking into this to see if this was an act of terrorism, but evidence of such motives has yet to be found. Although the victim’s injuries were consistent with those of an explosion, they were not necessarily consistent with those from a bomb. Authorities have said that the victims were limited to one suite in the building and all are accounted for. 

This is similar to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory incident. This fire in the factory led to investigations and a deep movement of reform for better and safer working conditions for those who worked there.
