A devastating explosion in the heart of Rome
A serious accident has shaken the Monteverde neighborhood of Rome, where a building collapsed due to an explosion that occurred between Via Vitellia and Via Pio Foà. The event, which took place in the afternoon, generated a deafening roar, described by some witnesses as similar to that of a bomb.
The force of the explosion caused part of the building to collapse, burying several cars parked nearby under the rubble.
Rescuers intervention
Immediately after the explosion, rescuers rushed to the scene of the accident. Carabinieri, 118 personnel and firefighters began operations to secure the area. Thanks to their timely intervention, a person trapped under the rubble was extracted alive. The rescue operations were complex and required the use of specialized equipment to remove the debris and ensure the safety of all operators involved.
The causes of the explosion
Initial investigations suggest that the explosion may have been caused by a gas leak, which was also confirmed by the strong smell that was felt in the area shortly before the collapse. The competent authorities are conducting a thorough investigation to determine the exact causes of the accident and to verify whether there were any violations of safety regulations. The situation has raised concerns among residents, who fear for their safety and that of their homes.
