Wow so sad! This is the 2nd major building explosion in
PA this year! One in Eastern PA, Reading, PA, and then this one. Very sad.

Houses should use electricity, not gas.

Exploding houses seems to be coming very trendy.
I'm betting a gas leak is the usual suspect.
RIP to those who lost their lives during these unexpected tragedies.

Dude that blew off every nail hammered in wtf thats way bigger then a meth or propane tank

Do houses cost cheaper if they're prone to blowing up because I'm ready to start a mortgage

This is 1000% not a gas explosion. Only high order explosives do this and a lot of it.

Someone was either making or storing explosives and it went wrong.

There just isnt any home or gas explosion with a high enough brisance that causes a building to be completely levelled to its foundations like this.

This is Tannerite or ANFO or something homemade like TATP, but you'd want a 5 gallon drum full to cause ths kinda damage, even more if it was Ammonium nitrate based.

Was it a natural wildfire? Or a chef who saw too much?

[starshine]

Probably either natural gas or a lithium battery.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was intentional because of the extent of the destruction
