This is some insane security footage of a Chase Bank in Youngstown, Ohio, exploding yesterday afternoon:

7 were injured in the blast, and 2 were missing. One person was confirmed dead Tuesday night.

From CBS affiliate WKBN:

The coroner's office was on the scene of an explosion in downtown Youngstown just after 11:30 p.m. Tuesday night.

Youngstown Police confirm a 27-year old man was recovered from the scene. Police said he was an employee at the bank.

The other missing person, a woman, was initially believed to be at the bank, but Youngstown Fire Chief Barry Finley said her car was not found there, nor was she at any local hospital.

Here are some images of the aftermath:

Right now, the cause of the blast in the 13-story building is unknown, although a gas leak has been speculated as the likely culprit.

Sources tell 3News the explosion was so strong, it left a crater in the basement of the bank. The search for the missing was put on hold due to the instability of the building.

Enbridge Gas Ohio confirmed the State Fire Marshal's office would be leading an investigation.
