Economics. It's hard to cover a whole continent in housing if you take the time to build everything out of brick and stone. 2. Culture. Most building in North America has taken place after the introduction of modern fire-fighting methods and fire departments. Hence North Americans don't have the same aversion to wooden houses that Europeans have. | ||

This explosion was WAY too big to have been some kind of accident. They probably had a real bomb somehow and set it off by accident. It looks like the explosion was enormous and ball shaped, a simple natural gas accident couldn't have done something like that. The explosion wouldn't have been so concentrated and powerful, it would have been dispersed and uneven, which isn't the case in the photos. I suspect there was a real bomb but there won't really be any proof because everything incinerated... | ||

I suspect there was a real bomb but there won't really be any proof because everything incinerated... supposedly the furnace in their basement broke down a week ago. At least that is what the owners of the home are claiming. A weeks worth of natural gas saturating an enclosed basement and surrounding area might be possible. I really don't know though, that is still a massive explosion. I'm really interested in what the investigators find. | ||

It really does look like a 2,000lb bomb hit the place. Still, when you hear about an explosion in a neighborhood you expect a few crashed windows and perhaps a paint job for the house. Not a scene out of Modern Warfare... Such a shitty way to die. | ||
