We saw that on TV this morning.  Some gas workers were critically injured but no fatalities.  The house was not occupied, it must have been completely filled with gas.  Note that a large section of a wall self loaded on a flat bed truck.

I  just saw that on the news and it was phenominal. In all the years I've been in the fire service I have never seen that and don't want to. But to see it was amazing! The injuries however are not so good and I hope they all pull through.

Better to be judged by 12, then carried by 6.

Had one blow up in town. Moved the next 2 houses off the foundation. Killed the cable guy who drilled thru the gas line. We were there for 3 hrs.

We had one blow up about 10 years ago here. Plumbers  were working on a gas line at the time and were not hurt, but the complete roof blew off the house and landed upside down back on top of the house.

 About a year ago we had a murder suicide were he turned on the gas, smothered his wife and blew the house up. The walls pushed out and the windows and doors blew out into the yard. There was just a big house fire after that. I remember seeing shards of glass stuck in trees and the wooden fence.  Firefighter
