The explosion happened in downtown Durham shortly after 10am. It was caused, according to police, by a contractor who was drilling in the sidewalk and hit a two-inch gas line.
At the time, fire fighters were evacuating workers from nearby buildings after receiving reports of a gas leak in the area less than an hour before the explosion.
The blast destroyed an entire building which houses a building technology company, a coffee shop and is next door to a psychiatrist's office.

Who is the nut NOW?
The city is supposed to map out where a contractor drills so that utilities aren't compromised and things like this are prevented from happening. Expect that the lawsuits are going to include lots of city government.
