Gas Station Explosion Rattles Windows Across Rome, Fiery Debris Injure Nearly 40 People

A huge explosion at a petrol station in a Rome suburb injured nearly 40 people, two of them seriously, and rattled windows across the Italian capital. The blast was preceded by a fire caused by a gas leak during refuelling. The explosion sent a fireball and thick black smoke into the air, and was heard on the other side of Rome, shaking windows and causing some residents to worry that a bomb had gone off. n18oc_world n18oc_crux
