NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) - More than 5,000 people were evacuated after an explosion Tuesday evening at the Opryland Hotel and Convention Center.

The blast was reported in a mechanical room in the convention center at around 8:30 p.m., and two alarms were called during the emergency response.

A spokesperson for Gaylord tells Channel 4 News the explosion was located near the Ryman exhibit hall in the convention center.

Kim Lawson, with the Nashville Fire Department, tells Channel 4 News there was a smell of natural gas in the area, and gas was turned off into the building as crews and investigators responded to the scene.

That natural gas stuff is dangerous. It can take out a whole city block.

watch the local news last night and I slept in and didn't hear about it.

last night and they announced it.

Marriot was set to take over the place ( and others) for 210 mil, I believe.

and $750,000 damage was done.

Ten hour day in that hot sun, my brain tonight is too mushy to go 'splorin but I'll try to do some followup.

From the CBS Affiliate:

NASHVILLE, Tenn.- There is a tense debate between officials over the cause of the explosion that shook the Gaylord Opryland Hotel Tuesday night.

Both the Metro Police Department and Gaylord say the likely cause of the blast was natural gas seeping into a steam line. But an inspector for Piedmont gas who examined the line says he didn't find any leaks, and officials with the company told the Tennessean the theory was quote "pure speculation."

Whatever the cause, the outcome of the blast is $750,000 in damages. Gaylord released photos of the worst-hit areas, around the Delta.

Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt in the explosion.
