BALTIMORE (WJZ) — The preliminary report has been released for an explosion and fire that killed seven and injured dozens last year at a Silver Spring apartment . Some questions now have answers, but a big question still remains. One year ago, an explosion and fire blasted apart the Flower Branch Apartments in Silver Spring. Firefighters managed to rescue some trapped by the flames, and rushed three dozen injured to area hospitals, but seven residents were killed when a large section of the building gave way beneath their feet: “Ah, it just collapsed man. There was no getting out of that,” one witness said. Last November, survivors filed lawsuits to, as one lawyer put it,”finally give us a straight answer to this tragedy.” ATF and NTSB investigators are still seeking a definitive cause, but a preliminary report makes some findings. Investigators say no gasoline was spread inside the building, and there was no drug lab that could have caused a blast. Natural gas odor was reported s...

It is more difficult and more bitter when a man fails alone." - Chinua Achebe, Things Fall Apart , Ch. 3 "But he was not the man to go about telling his neighbors that he was in error. And so people said he had no respect for the gods of the clan.

RIO DE JANEIRO ― Seven years ago, Vila Autódromo was little more than a tranquil fishing village on the edge of Jacarepagua Lagoon, next to the racetrack for which it was named. Like the hundreds of other favelas that dot Rio de Janeiro ’s landscape, it had long been neglected by the city government , and it lacked many basic public services that are standard in the fast- growing wealthier neighborhoods just across the water. But to the more than 600 families that lived there, it was home. “This was a paradise,” said Luiz Cláudio Silva, who lived in Autódromo for more than 20 years. “I thought that I would live here for the rest of my life.” By the time the Rio Olympics are over, just 20 of the families who lived in Autódromo in 2009, the year the International Olympic Committee chose the city to host the games, will remain. The community, which sits less than a mile away from Rio’s Olympic Park, was crushed so that the city could build new access roads to connect Olympic venues . ...
