It's now been more than 24 hours since an explosion destroyed a home in Sydney’s west and rescue workers have yet to find a woman they believe is buried in the rubble. The blast happened around lunchtime yesterday, shattering the usually peaceful neighbourhood of Whalan, and forcing nearby residents from their homes. While the cause of the explosion is still unknown, the New South Wales government say it's urgently investigating reports of smells of gas weeks before this incident.
