OH WOW you almost never see those sort of explosions in the US. 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?

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.

housing market is a big economic flywheel, wood is "cheap", easy and fast. people are used to it and it's subsidized from many angles.

on topic: that is an unbelievable image. those two houses are completely obliterated. O_O

I'd really like to know what happened.

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.

That's too bad... Hope they get some answers if it was intentional or not.

Holy shit. You'd think way more than 2 people would die from an explosion like that.

That's scary.

Wood lasts longer than meat, both are cheap and biodegradable. It kind of works out if you think about it.

People marveling at how it's possible for so many homes to be damaged, keep in mind that with explosions like this, there are usually very strong shock waves, this is especially the case for large gas leaks.

There is absolutely no way a small chemical lab could produce an explosion this size.

Didn't something like this happen previously this year..?

(and it took out like 20 homes?)

American houses seem so fragile, just paper wood and some glue.
I dont get it why they dont build propper houses ?
Can anyone enlighten me ?

Christ, that's even more inconceivable.

What are the odds? As likely as being in a plane crash?

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...

Bit offtopic, but the perfect linear arrangement of all the houses in the first 2 pics made me giggle for some reason
Sucker for nostalgia
