Unexpected? I thought there had been reports the night before of a gas leak? Or you not going to mention that anymore?

I hate how " my thoughts and prayers" has become a normal thing to say. Thoughts yes. Prayers? Really? Psst.

Doubt it was gas, that explosion was insane in size and ferocity, like a bomb went off on the 2nd floor. Are the millionaire playboys making their own IED's?

Hope there were some immigrants in there

Too many people messing with their meters because of the cost of living. So many buildings blowing up now. It’s scary.
