Inglewood, California — Tragedy struck Los Angeles today as a massive gas explosion ripped through SoFi Stadium, igniting a devastating fire and claiming the lives of several Los Angeles Rams players.
The explosion occurred early Saturday afternoon during a closed team workout session, sending thick black smoke into the sky and triggering a multi-alarm emergency response. Witnesses reported a sudden blast followed by flames engulfing large portions of the stadium’s lower levels.
