One person is dead and five are missing in Allentown, Pennsylvania after a natural-gas explosion destroyed two houses and set several others aflame. “I thought I was back in Vietnam,” said one witness. The explosion happened Wednesday at 10:45 p.m. in a private home. It was so powerful that it could be felt nine miles away. Firefighters expect a total of eight houses will be lost and 16 damaged.
