(CMR) A house exploded in Bayfield Cresent, Newlands, this afternoon, sending at least one person to hospital with serious injuries. Persons are theorizing it may have been a gas explosion.


The explosion was so powerful that windows and other sections of closeby houses were shattered. CMR sources said the explosion occurred after a resident returned to the house and opened a door. One person was reportedly seriously burned.


Several fire trucks and police personnel are on the scene carrying out investigations. More details later.

Gas or meth lab

Someone was hoarding those farts in a jar the tik tokers were selling.

When I first saw the headline my first reaction was "who's banks are they going after?"....

 

[Millwright]

I'm guessing they cook with LP.

Occasionally, some gets loose in the house.

 

[anna43]

LP or natural gas with totally wipe out a single house or even a neighborhood. As will a meth lab. Guess the cause will be discovered sooner or later.

Didn’t The Firm bank around there? Maybe there was an audit scheduled.

I first read it as Grand Canyon and wondered what the hell could explode there.

Me too. And I was wondering what was the news angle? A bigger hole?

Same!

 

[Signwatcher]

Same!

Maybe those of us who transpose and superimpose our subconscious thoughts into the headlines we read, should form a support group.

I think they have a few distilleries.
Those things can be as explosion prone as a refinery.
