Hmmm... that shows a total of 3380 fires in a five-year period. That's a long way from your
bull**** claim of 4000+ explosions per year.

3380 fires in 5 years = 676 per year. In a nation with a population of over 300 million.

Total of 77 fatalities = 15 per year, which makes gas safer than swimming or climbing ladders.

Swimming pools, hell, that makes gas heat safer than 5-gallon buckets
(somewhere between 10 and 40 drown in 5-gallon buckets each year).
