21 people were injured after a suspected gas leak led to an explosion at the Sandman Signature Hotel in Fort Worth, Texas recently. Reports flooded into the station on Monday afternoon after the explosion at the hotel, blasting debris all over the street. The road was covered in bits of wall and windows and furniture, and police immediately arrived on the scene and blocked off the area. There was a consistent gas smell in the air, but they have not confirmed if the explosion was actually caused by a gas leak.

On another note, we have a quick update on the Israel-Gaza conflict: the death toll has reached 23,000, meaning that 1% of Gaza's population has been killed in the war (the previous population was approximately 2.3 million). Israel is persisting on with their attacks, but Hamas refuses to give up any more hostages.

Fact of the Day: Bubble wrap was originally invented as a textured wallpaper.
