Per CNN - They suspect it is a gas explosion.

There are casualties. Not sure how many, but they are thinking it is a low number.

How can there only be minor injuries if the building was occupied? That's probably (sadly) not accurate but it immediately made me think of the Bronx insurance fires of the 1970's.

No one has been able to go in and look for more due to fire.
