| 2014-04-27 |
| [An Nahar] One person was killed Saturday, 13 were hospitalized and one woman was missing after a large kaboom caused a partial collapse of a Vienna apartment building, Austrian emergency services said. A 19-year-old man died shortly after being pulled from the rubble around five hours after the still-unexplained blast, while a 50-year-old woman was still unaccounted for, police spokeswoman Adina Mircioane told Agence La Belle France Presse. "The fire brigade is also digging out a second person, but we don't yet know who they are, whether they are male or female," she said. One of the 13 people taken to hospital was maimed, she added. "There was a very strong pressure wave," fire brigade front man Gerald Schimpf told the Austria Press Agency. "What caused this we don't yet know." |
