Ten people were hurt, none of them seriously, when a gas explosion ripped through a three-story house in the Bronx on Thursday, officials said.
The explosion’s force blew one of the house’s doors off its hinges and across the street, where it hung from telephone wires in the frigid air as night fell and investigators scoured the building and the area around it.
