Looking like a gas explosion. Another case of infrastructure problems.

Read the articles before being outright ridiculous. They're calling it a gas leak.

It's frightening the amount of damage simple property mis-management and infrastructure deficits can lead to.

Obviously terrists sabotaged the pipes.

Sorry, but I couldn't click on the link... I only click fox links, not CNN biased networks, I want the truth, not some nutcase view.

I thought It was due to the fact they installed Philip Seymour Hoffman as Rob Ford and had to dispose of the evidence....
OT: I hope this makes them think about overhauling all the old pipes and wires now. lol

I haven't heard anyone say if any of the people who smelled the gas beforehand called 911?

[Blueobelisk]

Yeah I saw that. I decided to come home for my break between classes today and I couldn't watch Maury/Jerry Springer on TV because the news is covering this. Still is. Lol//////////

Oh snap...next there'll be a balding middle aged cop in Harlem wearing a Sandwich Board saying "I Hate N****rs"

No, it's not 'cuz' US, but because you are a biased xtremerr, who doesn't bother to read...

Yeah that's interesting. Also a gas explosion of that magnitude would take a large quantity of gas. So one could assume it had been leaking a while. Weird there isn't more casualties than what's reported. Maybe the buildings were mostly vacant?

Basically this NYC has an huge aging infrastructure ( with much of the US )

Not exactly true on quantify + detectibility. It has to be a large amount but spread to cause such damage, it must have been more than one leak or a very long term leak that had open paths to flow across more than one section of the building. Enough to reach the correct ratio with air to be explosive. Which is why dangerous gaz leaks arent easily detectable, if its all in a single room and the gaz cannot escape, the ratio of gaz become too high and it cannot explode. Which is why you need detectors.
