Power Restored to 12 Buildings after LA Electrical Explosion

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Power has been restored to a dozen surrounding buildings after an electrical-equipment explosion shook a high-rise in downtown Los Angeles.

The city's Department of Water and Power says electricity was rerouted to reach the 12 buildings late Friday afternoon.

The 19-story building where the blast first occurred remains without power.

The blast late Thursday night sent a man and woman to hospitals with minor injuries.

It broke pipes and flooded part of the basement, but there are no worries about its structural integrity.

Arena officials say the explosion briefly paused a Shania Twain concert at nearby Staples Center.
