San Diego hotel being built hit by apparent blast

Several floors of a Hilton hotel under construction in downtown San Diego have been badly damaged in an apparent explosion, and authorities say a dozen workers have been injured.

Fire spokesman Maurice Luque says two of the injured are in critical condition, eight are in serious condition and two have minor injuries.

The incident was reported shortly after 2 p.m. Monday.

The fire spokesman say it is still not known what happened, but there is no fire.

About four lower floors of the waterfront skyscraper near the San Diego Convention Center show serious damage and debris litters a driveway beneath the area.
