All over the news here since this morning, on all channels, plus it made national news:

Three firefighters, three civilians and two police officers were injured in two simultaneous natural gas explosions that completely destroyed a building at Northwest 23rd Avenue and Glisan Street in Portland Wednesday morning.

This WAS a 3 story, old wood building; it was gone in just minutes.
If you look at the new Condo's next to it, it blew part of the outside wall out, on the opposite side of the building.
Every piece of glass in the windows was shattered, or blown out, on the 2nd floor of the building next to it, you can see sheet rock from 4 other walls that blew threw all the rooms on that floor.
BIG BOOM!!

Construction Company hit the gas main for the area, and the Bagel Bakery it the crater in the ground where the building used to be. Crater is about the same as the one that blew up that Federal Building 10+ years ago
