Paris/Sputnik: A suspected gas blast tore through a private garage in the southwestern French city of Bordeaux on Saturday morning, collapsing a nearby building and leaving five people shell-shocked and two others missing, media said.
The massive blast woke people up in the Chartrons neighborhood at about 8 a.m., according to witnesses cited by the Sud Ouest regional paper.
