One dead and 35 injured by gas line explosion in Lyon



Yesterday in Lyon, while some roadworks was being done, a gas line was inadvertently hit, causing a leak. While the leak was caught in time to do some evacuation of the area, it eventually led to an explosion that killed one firefighter, who was buried, and injured 35 others.
