An explosion at a hotel in Fort Worth, Texas left at least 21 people injured
The explosion happened at the Sandman Signature Hotel—which occupies a 102-year-old building and opened in March 2023—in the city’s downtown area on Monday afternoon.
Fortunately, no deaths have been reported thus far. One person was reported missing, but they’ve since been found.
Citing law enforcement, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram writes that 14 people were taken to hospitals; one is in critical condition and four are in serious condition. The others reportedly sustained minor injuries, with one taking themself to the hospital.
Footage and images from the scene show significant damage on the ground floor of the building. The Star-Telegram says the blast “blew out windows on the first and second floors of the 20-story hotel, sending debris into the streets.”
The event appears to have occurred in the kitchen of Musume, a restaurant on the basement level that was not yet open for Monday night’s service. Three of its employees were among the injured.
