Clean up crews are on site of the apparent gas explosion on Miller Street in Port Richmond as neighbors lean on each other for support and work to rebuild their community.
An explosion rocked a Port Richmond neighborhood just hours into the New Year. Five people were hospitalized, two with broken backs and one with a broken leg. One man remains in extremely critical condition since two homes were reduced to rubble and several others were damaged early Sunday morning. Now, as crews work to clean up the massive amounts of debris, neighbors are leaning on each other for support.
One woman who lives in the area said neighbors have been out all day Monday helping people board up their blown-out windows. Meanwhile, the American Red Cross has been assisting by setting up a shelter so that displaced families have a place to go.
