Gas cooker blows up island
Friday, December 29, 2006
 

 
This was the staggering scene after a faulty gas cooker exploded in a timber-framed shack – and devastated a tiny Caribbean island.  
 
The blast caused an inferno that leapt from hut to hut, taking less than ten minutes to sweep across Soledad Miria.  
 
Many of the 1,014 inhabitants dived into the sea or took to fishing boats to escape. More than a third – 348 – were injured but, amazingly, no one died.

Sure, because of the dry building materials used on all the huts and how close together they are.
