Gas Explosions Injury 5, NTSB Investigates

0:00Two explosions rocked homes on the same block in North San Antonio. Tuesday night, hours apart, injuring five people including a child with burns. Authorities confirmed both blasts were fueled by natural gas, sending debris flying across the street. The National Transportation Safety Board jumped in quick, dispatching a teen Wednesday to dig into why no evacuations happened before that second. Boom! Just two doors down from the first. Firefighters responded fast to the initial blast, but gas leaks can be sneaky with no smell sometimes. Neighbors were outshadding with first responders after the first house went up, even the folks from the second home, who sadly headed back inside. Right before blue, one family hit hard A-pastor, a high school teacher, and their teen daughter. Luckily stable in the hospital now. Gas and power lines got shut off right away, with surrounding homes cleared out until it's safe. CPS Energy, the local provider, is still probing the root cause alongside the feds.
