Update 27 May Lake Tuerler, Switzerland (20 Minutes, Fre) – Seventeen people were injured, one seriously, when several gas canisters at a campground midway between Zurich and Zug exploded, causing a major fire. Some of the caravans reportedly caught fire, provoking the explosions as a result. Eleven of the injured were hospitalized, according to 20 Minutes, and millions of francs in damages were caused to the caravans. Police said late Tuesday that a gas leak in one of the caravan lines appears to have caused the fire.
