Massachusetts suspected gas explosions damage or destroy at least 20 homes

This is the most bizarre thing I've ever heard of, and having a gas line for the stove, water heater and furnace in my own home, is also liable to make me a little paranoid now o.O

Only one fatality is miraculous considering what happened I was bracing for epic bad news it sounded like a war zone . Still this is kinda of fishy

Gas explosion??? no way.

How is this even possible all at once ?

Because of not repairing and checking gas lines. With our aging infrastructure, this could happen to any of us at any time.
Especially in the older states such as in the northeastern U.S.

Perhaps you better actually look into the story there genius. Yes, 3 or 4 houses DID explode. It seems to all have started with a house exploding. At that house, an 18yr old man was waiting in the driveway (in his car) for friends in the house when it exploded. The brick chimney collapsed on the car, killing him. That has been the only death reported so far in this horrible incident.

I cut a gas main once in a downtown area. It was wierd cause the gas company did not respond well to my request to shut off main. They let it leak into the community all weekend then tried to bill us cause they did not have a shut off cause they claimed since the pressure is so low it was not needed. dum dum dum
