A devastating incident at Silver Lake Nursing Home in Bristol, Pennsylvania resulted in two fatalities and twenty injuries when dual explosions triggered a fire and partial structural collapse on Tuesday afternoon. Emergency responders evacuated residents following an initial blast and gas odor reports, but a second explosion occurred within thirty seconds of the evacuation, creating a dangerous situation that trapped several people in the basement before their successful rescue. While authorities suspect a gas leak may be responsible, the investigation remains active, and the local utility company PECO has not confirmed whether its equipment or gas lines were involved.
