An explosion at a vacation condo in Maui's Kaanapali Beach area left several injured, prompting a response from police, firefighters, and medical services. Eyewitness David Flint described the frightening experience, likening the noise to an earth-shaking boom. Rumors circulated regarding the cause, with initial speculations ranging from a grill explosion to a bomb scare. Seven individuals, with ages between 18 and 74, sustained injuries, three critically. While investigators suspect the explosion might be linked to liquefied petroleum gas used for barbecues, no official cause has been confirmed, and the situation remains under investigation.
"We were swimming down at the pool at the Sheraton and suddenly there was this huge, earth-shaking boom. You can tell it wasn't like a firework or something somebody planned."
"We know it's a real crowded area and it was pretty scary. There were all sorts of rumors right away... It was definitely surreal."
