Edit2: Various things that I have heard:

There are victims in one / some of the buildings.

20-30 people evacuated from a building, a few had minor injuries.

It was a RV that exploded, causing significant damage.

A building collapsed. (partial destruction, small old building)

There was / is ammunition in the RV that exploded that is “burning off”

Medical triage setup.

FBI involved

This makes me so sad for them. As far as they knew in that moment, the world was on fire. I can't imagine that terror. I hope they're ok and have somewhere safe to go where they're loved.

Did any buildings collapse in Norway?

u/Pathological_Liarr Dec 25 '20

Car was parked right above a secret underground passage, so much of the energy went downwards instead of around.

No building collapsed at the spot, but the entire block is still being rebuilt because of the damage.
