More on last night’s explosion

The explosion turned out to be caused by an unlicensed plumber working on a minor gas leak.  He uncapped the wrong line and turned a leak into a catastrophe.  Film at six.

I drove by the site this afternoon, and it was still all muddled up with the arson investigators, who’d parked a pump truck in an awkward place, and a gaggle of “live” reporters “reporting” on location (for no particular reason; all the fun was long over).  I did see that the roof and trusses had been blown completely off the main structure and were lying in the yard, and there wasn’t enough of the house left to make a good corncrib.

The fact is, the media never gets off the interstate unless there’s a major explosion.  Fnord.
