Anthony Gambale, 19, and girlfriend Gabriella Katanov, 17, were critically injured with second- and third-degree burns at 2:20 a.m. inside a Marine Parkway garage in Brooklyn, police said. The massive blast occurred when one of the couple lit a cigarette while trying to evaporate off the gas.
The explosion rocked the sleeping residential neighborhood and sent the garage up in flames. Gambale and Gabriella were rushed to Staten Island University Hospital, where they remain in serious condition. “Their lungs are good . . . but from the waist up, all burned. Her hands, too. She could be in the hospital for a year. She needs surgery. The doctors said it will get worse every day.”
Cops found a “large amount” of marijuana, including pot plants, plastic storage containers, plastic tabs, coffee filters, glass pans and butane. The couple had filled a blue 30-gallon tub with cannabis and covered it in butane.
