EPTOk, so to clarify the people who owned the house were not in the house when it exploded? But two other people died in the surrounding houses?

Yeah, I don't even...the houses have literally been leveled, wow :\ They're just...gone. The other houses look almost unscathed but I guess according to the article there are cracks and problems with the foundation or something. | ||

I mean you always hear about gas leaks and what not that could cause explosions but you never see it happen. Ok, so to clarify the people who owned the house were not in the house when it exploded? But two other people died in the surrounding houses? The two dead were from the house immediately next door to the one believed to be the source of the explosion (where no one was home). Their house was one of the two houses completely and utterly levelled, along with the one believed to be the source. | ||

Wood is more economical to build houses with. I don't think a brick or stone house would fare much better against an explosion like this, though. | ||

Yeah, those silly Americans...I guess my next house will be a bunker. In any case, am very curious as to what actually caused such an explosion... | ||
