Gas cylinder explodes in campsite in Alleghe, causing injuries
The morning tranquility was brutally interrupted this morning by a terrible roar that woke up the holidaymakers at a campsite in Alleghe.
A violent explosion, caused by the deflagration of a gas cylinder, occurred in the heart of the campsite and immediately triggered the alarm.
From what has emerged from the initial investigations carried out by the relevant authorities, the explosion occurred following a abnormal gas release. The conditions of the cylinder, in fact, were perfectly intact even after the explosion that hit an entire family unit, composed of a father, mother and daughter.
The violence of the explosion also hit some nearby bungalows and two cars parked near the structures. About five wooden houses were destroyed.
