I just hope the two people they thought were missing or found safe and for those that are in the hospital I wish him a speedy recovery.... But for those that have passed away from this explosion my thoughts, heart, prayers and sincere condolences go out to them and their entire family members at this time🙏💜😥

Same thing happened in Baltimore County a few years ago. Natural Gas leak from basement water heater.

The wreckage looks identical to a house explosion video that I posted on YouTube ten years ago. When gas leaks into a sealed house it becomes a bomb.

Was that supposed to be music playing ?

I could see 1 house blowing up from gas, but it looks like 3.

Hope this wasn’t from a meth lab gone wrong. Rip to the Victims

If this old lady had custody of her grandchildren because family court placed them with her, is it possible that the parent who lost custody wanted revenge? Happens a lot nowadays?

And that's a big mess to clean up.

Crazy and really sad🙏, and I'm surprised that BBC or Sky News isn't all over this yet like they always are whenever something big or interesting happens in the US or anywhere else outside of Britain and they probably would have been by now because right here we could be talking about a possible terrorist attack and I'm not saying it wasn't one but it coulda also just been possible a gas leak because I bare in mind, who and why would anyone just wanna target a residential area just like that of all places in the US but I guess we're all gonna find out

Ha I'll do it, what the gas tech knows that I don't... I remember back in 70💥BANG
