The Big Picture: Blast

An explosion at a Gulf gasoline facility

A column of black smoke and flames rise from inside the gasoline warehouse and distribution centre of Caribbean Petroleum Corp., owned by Gulf, in Catano, Puerto Rico. An explosion at the Gulf facility rocked a neighbourhood outside Puerto Rico's capital, causing at least some minor injuries and forcing evacuations as fire fighters raced to prevent additional blasts.
