| Terror, or meth lab gone wrong? NEW YORK (Reuters) - An apartment building collapsed on Tuesday after an explosion in New Jersey, police said, and CBS radio reported there were casualties. A police spokesman in Bergenfield, New Jersey, had no further details of the incident, which sent up a large cloud of black smoke that could be seen from across the river in Manhattan. He could not confirm that there were casualties. "It was an apartment building, unknown origin for the explosion," the spokesman said. Television footage from the scene showed what appeared to be a building of at least three stories with firefighters battling to put out a fire. |
