Oh, well, it was only partially leveled and only an injury.

A gas explosion partially leveled a suburban Washington state motel late Tuesday and left one person critically injured, police said.
The Motel 6 in Bremerton, on the Kitsap Peninsula near Seattle, had been evacuated due to a gas leak about 30 minutes before the blast, police said.
The force of the explosion blew back firefighters 20 feet, Bremerton police said.
A gas company employee on scene trying to fix the leak was badly burned and transported to a local hospital.
