A business in south Miami-Dade that was heavily damaged by a propane explosion that injured 10 people earlier this year is slated to be demolished on Thursday.

In May, an explosion occurred at a strip mall located near the 900 block of West Palm Drive in Florida City.

The explosion, which is believed to have been caused by a suspected propane leak, originated at a restaurant, Caribbean's Heart, which was slated to open the same day the explosion occurred.

The new restaurant was closed at the time.

Two people needed to be flown to a hospital to be treated for severe injuries. Among those who were injured in the blast was the South Florida man, with his wife, who poured their life savings into opening the new restaurant.

Video after the explosion shows extensive damage, with shattered glass throughout the parking lot.

Restaurant owners watch lifelong dream reduced to rubble

Nearly six months after the explosion, the owner is devastated to see her family's dream crumble.

Syndy Thelemaque, the owner of Caribbean's Heart, was emotional as she watched her restaurant being demolished.

"It's very painful to watch," Thelemaqui said.

According to the owner, Florigas went in a month before the explosion to fill the tanks. One month later, the owners claim the company came back to turn the tanks on, and that's when the explosion happened.

"We hired the professionals, we did everything right," said Thelemaqui. "We got all the licensin. They failed us. They came up in and blew up the whole place and put everyone in deep problems."

Ten people, including Thelemaque's husband, an employee and and several others at at least four businesses next door were injured, some severely.

"In terms of my client, he has been aside from the physical injuries," Stephanie Ducheine-Welsh, Thelemaqui's attorney, said. "That we are hoping at some point from the emotional mental destroys stress. This was their life savings."

Debris, damage collected as evidence in ongoing probe

According to the company, it will likely take them about a week for the demolition. The stove and other evidence were taken as part of their investigation to figure out exactly what caused this gas explosion. 

CBS Miami reached out to the gas company and is waiting to hear back. The owners said that while this is a setback, they do plan on opening Caribbean's Heart because that is where their heart is.
