Death toll in Manila explosion rises to 6
The death toll from a powerful explosion that ripped through an upscale apartment complex in the Philippine capital has risen to six, including the crew of a passing delivery van that was hit by debris, authorities said Saturday.
The explosion Friday night punched a large hole in the wall of the apartment building and sent concrete chunks flying onto the street below, which was teeming with pedestrians. Three people in the van were crushed to death. Philippine officials said Saturday they still do not know what caused a powerful explosion. (AP)
