The wrong lesson was learned. The correct lesson is to build high-rise
apartments in such a manner that isolated damage will not result in the
failure of the entire structure.


Oh but the fact remains that Natural gas is risky business. It was,
is and always will be more dangerous and it will put more at risk when
things go wrong.

Maybe you would be singing a different tune if your house was
pulverized from a gas leak?

Or maybe you would see things more clearly if only you could have seen
those scorched bodies personally so that you can get a whiff of the
sell of cooked/burned human flesh.

There is no *running away* from a gas explosion. It's all or nothing,
you either get burned/killed or your survive it as a burn victim.

Same thing with commercial airliners. You either make it to your
destination, or everyone on board dies. That is the trade off for
economy and convenience. The trade off is risks and danger. Lots of
it.

There is no running from a gas explosion. There are no fender-benders
thousands of feet up in the air.

Relax. You're not going to make it out of here alive anyway.

Since you are obviously a fearful sort of person, I sure hope you don't ever
drive or ride in a car. Checked the stats on that lately?
