Explosion in Gran Canaria rips front out of apartment

[Janet]

What on earth causes such an explosion? A gas cylinder? Really?

Bomb factory? Death Eaters?

This is breaking so no-one knows anything right now, not even if anyone's been hurt. The front of this apartment in Agüimes is in smithereens though after this explosion around half past one this lunchtime.

Bloody hell!!!  I can't imagine a non-deliberate way that could have happened...

Oh my god! I do hope no one was in it at the time.

Perhaps it was a meth lab?

More likely the mutton vindaloo

That's odd.........

On the 2nd photo the little blue car appears unscathed although the fire would lead me to believe the explosion had already happened......But on the first photo the car looks like it's under a load of rubble......

I'll revisit this tomorrow when I haven't been for a pint.....

In the first pic you can see it's only the back of the car that caught it and the second pic is taken from the front

one woman dead, apparently, with police sources saying possible suicide ...
