At 2:30am the house shook like it would from a sonic boom and it turned
out to be a gas explosion in a neighborhood within a mile from me. It
destroyed a two story brick apartment building containing two families
and several children were sent to Childrens Hospital and several adults
to another hospital. The report is that two adults are unaccounted for.
The explosion leveled the building sending bricks into the air striking
other buildings and breaking a lot of windows. I think somebody was
messing with a gas line, trying to get a gas heater working then winding
up with a gas leak. o_O

8 people in the hospital one dead. I'm sure I'll find pictures or video
soon, perhaps I should turn on the TV? o_O

There was a couple in Indianapolis who rigged their n.g. supply to blow
up their house for insurance money prosecuted last year, I believe.
They turned on gas and rigged a timer to cause explosion. I believe it
failed on the first try, so they went back to make adjustments. When
the house blew up, it destroyed several neighboring homes and killed two
neighbors. One clue to their guilt was that they took their cat with
them when they left, I think.
