A home explosion in Missouri during Thanksgiving weekend left a residence in ruins and six people injured, three of them critically. The blast occurred at 2:44 a.m. in eastern Jefferson City, with emergency personnel responding to the scene where they found multiple victims with injuries ranging from moderate to severe. Some victims required advanced medical treatment, including transportation to a nearby hospital. The cause of the explosion is still under investigation. The rescue operation was challenging due to extensive structural collapse and debris, but all victims, including two pets, were safely removed from the rubble. Authorities shared images of the destroyed residence and efforts to clear debris and smoke from the scene. The explosion, described as a fireball, was felt by residents for miles. Local emergency personnel and utility workers worked to clear the area and provide assistance to those affected. The response involved multiple fire and emergency units, as well as medical helicopters. Despite the extensive damage, all victims were successfully rescued from the debris.
