Two inmates dead in suspected gas explosion at Florida jail


Damage to the Escambia County Jail is seen after an explosion in the facility Thursday An apparent gas explosion demolished a part of a jail in northwest Florida, killing two inmates and injuring some 150 people, officials said on Thursday. The blast late on Wednesday partially leveled the four-story Escambia County Jail's central booking facility in Pensacola, which held roughly 600 inmates, county spokeswoman Kathleen Castro said. "The building is still standing, it's just unstable and partially collapsed," Castro said, describing the incident as an "apparent gas explosion." "We have reports people heard an explosion and smelled gas. Flooding, she said, "would seem to be a causal relationship, but we can't be sure." Three inmates remained unaccounted for but officials believed they were receiving treatment at one of the area hospitals, said Sarah Rachfal, a country spokesperson.
