SALEM, N.Y. (AP) — An explosion leveled a two-family home in upstate New York Wednesday afternoon, blowing debris hundreds of feet and killing four people, police said.
Eight others were injured, including a baby. Three of the dead were adults, said State Police Lt. John Agresta. The age of the fourth person, who died later in the day, was not immediately known late Wednesday.
The blast shook tiny Salem, about 40 miles northeast of the state capital of Albany.
"It sounded like a hundred sticks of dynamite going off," said Josh Nelson of Salem, who was several miles away.
The blast shook a restaurant a half-mile away, restaurant employee Diane Keys told the Glens Falls Post-Star newspaper.
Neighbor Joseph Brandmeyer ran to the home after hearing the explosion to find pieces of furniture, board and other debris scattered around the yard and road and in trees. He said he saw at least three bodies under tarps.
Brandmeyer said he was helping a woman out of the rubble when he saw spotted her limp baby under a board.
