I started a thread about house explosions a few months ago, but was not able to find when I did a search. This is the third one I've heard about in the last month. We had one in our town and officers got residents out mere minutes before the house exploded. These things scare me because we have had gas leaks here and the fire department had to come out a couple of times. A couple of years ago they went through each apartment and knocked out the walls over the stoves looking for the source.
It's so sad that those people lost their lives. Hopefully they never knew what hit them and did not suffer. May they R.I.P. I feel so sorry for their families, for those who probably have burn injuries and for those who lost their homes.
