LOS ANGELES — A deadly gas explosion obliterated an industrial building with such violent force Friday that a worker was hurled into the street, car windows were shattered and a survivor had his hair singed in the inferno.
One man died of severe burns and another was critically injured in the blast, which was blamed on a gas line that had been tampered with and rerouted. Another man died as he tried to move his stake-bed truck away from the building and was jolted by a downed 34,500-volt power line that had fallen on the vehicle.
