Demolition work started Tuesday morning on the first of about 30 houses ordered torn down in an Indianapolis neighborhood ravaged by an explosion that killed a young couple. Crews using a large excavator began tearing down one of the badly damaged houses in the Richmond Hill subdivision on the city's far south side.
