As a result, there was a large leak of domestic gas in one apartment, and due to the lack of packing between the gas pipe and the floor of the apartments, improper functioning of the ventilation system, the gas concentrated in another apartment. These circumstances led to an explosion and a complete collapse of the first four floors of the second entrance of the house.
