Of the 10 people hospitalized, three had serious injuries after the fiery blast wrecked a four-story apartment building in Silver Spring, just outside Washington, D.C., Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service Chief Scott Goldstein said at a Thursday afternoon news conference.
Goldstein said several people were unaccounted for, adding that K-9 units had alerted that there may be bodies or survivors trapped under the rubble at Friendly Garden Apartments. He said heavy machinery will be needed to remove large debris and a remaining wall.
