Bet it’s gas.

Happens from time to time. The entire country is gasified and the cities have lines. Improper maintenance leads to pockets of gas going boom occasionally.

Can a gas explosion destroy most of a 9 story building like that though? I’m hoping it wasn’t a bomb

Jesus that looks like the oklohoma bombing. I suspect hundreds have died.

Yes.

The thing about a 9-story building? You don't have to take all of it out with the initial explosion. Simply weaken the structure enough that it collapses. Gravity will do the rest.

In this particular case looks like it blew out the sides while leaving the structure standing, which is what I'd expect with a gas explosion in a concrete and steel building.

 

[ManofOne]

The road looks blown open. A underground gas-line?

Stay safe Spain GAF.

 

[TheDreadLord]

Definitely gas can explode but I don't believe that the amount of gas used by a home heater is capable of doing such thing. This is mostly likely due to poor maintenance of the main building or street gas lines.

I worked in retail facilities for 5+ years and lived in Spain for 2+ years. Maintenance companies in south of Europe (Spain especially) are the absolute worst so it wouldn't surprise me.
