Oh my god. 
>> Tonight, chaos in Dallas. 
A massive plume of dark smoke filling the sky after officials say an explosion caused a fire at this apartment building. 
>> Two-story apartment complex, natural gas explosion, multiple victims. 
>> Flames completely engulfing the structure. Police seen here blocking streets and turning people away as they battled the inferno. 
>> But you can see that there is really nothing left. 
>> People nearby describing what they heard. 
>> We were inside and then we heard like a boom. 
>> Dozens of firefighters sifting through massive piles of rubble. 
>> We have four people transported to the hospital in unknown conditions at this time. 
>> Residents of the apartment complex were devastated when they saw what was left of their home. 
NBC station Kxas confirming a contractor was working at the building on Thursday and struck a gas line. 
It isn't clear what type of work was being done at the time. 
A community anxiously waiting for answers as the investigation continues. 
>> I want to encourage our entire city, uh this entire state, the entire nation to 
come together and pray uh for all the people, all the families um who are affected by this tragedy we are experiencing here today in our city. 
>> And Candace joins us once again live. 
Candace, there's still a concern out there that people could be missing. 
>> Absolutely, Tom. Again, we've confirmed now that there are fatalities and several people still unaccounted for, 
although it is unclear how many. Uh this is still, as I mentioned before, an incredibly active scene. All of the trucks behind me, an indication that this is going to be a very long night for the city of Dallas, Tom. 
>> Candace, we thank you for watching. And 
remember, stay updated on breaking news and top stories on the NBC News app or watch live on our YouTube channel.
