  1. Need to sue home builders, because they are building houses from wood and gips cartons

  2. A net article says the Plum fire chief said he has responded to six house explosions in Plum in his career but the article said no determination of the cause has been made yet.

  3. Gas explosion??? We had that happen here in Massachusetts, Merrimack Valley, in 2018. Turned out to be a gas pressure monitor that wasn't restarted when they were rerouting a gas line. Just out of nowhere….. bam. We forget how dangerous gas is…. then something like this happens!! 🙏🙏🙏

  4. Everytime I see a house explosion this big, I'm always reminded of the major explosion we had in Indianapolis in 2012. It happened late at night, woke me up and rattled my windows, and I lived about 8 miles away. Sadly, it was intentional to collect insurance money, but it killed the next door neighbors. (Richmond Hill Explosion)

  5. Some homes in Plum were built over old mines….that may or may not be the issue here. Someone needs to find out why this only happens in Plum and not the other suburbs in Pittsburgh. When it’s multiple times in one borough something is being covered up.

  6. No comments from Fetterman? 🤔

  7. Some of the comments 😄 better than bitter no?

  8. What could cause a single dwelling house to produce this kind of energetic explosion? It's almost like dynamite. Very sorry for all impacted.

  9. So very sad .praying far all the .
    Resident …God bless u ……
    Awais khan .😢

  10. RIP to those who lost their lives. When I was ten or eleven my mom and I were watching tv late one night and began to feel nauseous. Soon after that, we begin to throw up. she called Maintenance and they found a massive gas leak. they said if we had laid down that night, we would’ve died in our sleep, or we would’ve hit a light switch and the house would have blown up. Now that I’m grown, you couldn’t pay me to stay in a house ran with gas. I know the food taste better when you cook and the heat is better in the winter but the consequences of one leak, is not worth the benefits gas has over electric.

  11. AN IRV RUBIN WAS BLOWN UP GOOD RIDDANCE rving David Rubin (April 12, 1945 – November 13, 2002) was a Canadian-born American political and religious activist who served as chairman of the Jewish Defense League (JDL) from 1985 to 2002. He committed suicide in jail when awaiting trial on charges of conspiracy to bomb private and government property.[1]

  13. I like electric.scared of gas😢

  14. This has happened so many times in PA. So sad!

  15. So, what's the reason? Work crews putting in wrong size pipe again down the road? Home owner working on an appliance? Where's the next story?

  16. Looks like toothpicks or ice cream sticks.

    Gas leaks are no joke. Whether propane or natural gas. Some people who have no business working on appliances can wreak havoc.

  17. ohhh its damn n destroy 😢😢😢

  18. What is happening ?
    Why there are Fire and Water everywhere ?

  19. i just bought new wallpaper dammnit 😤🤨

  20. I wonder if this blast had anything to do with Mr. White and Jesse and the meth lab? !

  21. why do houses keep exploding here? I just saw a news story from a year ago about the same thing happening, same place

  22. God always declares peace before God declares war. Wicked America hasn't seen anything yet. 😢. Hawaii could never dreamed such a catastrophe happening on their beatiful island. Esther discovered that recently wicked Americans have been taking cruises to this island. 😢 These poor people couldn't even be saved. 😢 it happened so quickly. 🕊

  23. Years ago a house blew up a few blocks from me. It was a gas line. 🤷‍♂️ huge mess.

  24. To the surviving explosion victims, I guess gas stove bans ain't such a bad idea now, huh?

  25. I remember when my greener, cheaper renewable electric blew up my whole block. Not. 🤔

  26. Looks like "natural" gas kills again. How about giving greener, cheaper, safer renewable energy a try, folks?

  27. “The cause” of this “NATURAL GAS EXPLOSION” is uncertain, but “under a ten million dollar “natural gas explosion investigation”. Nyuk nyuk nyuk. (Notice the basement, under the middle house, “that’s the culprit”.)

  28. This is like the 4th home explosion in Pennsylvania in the last few years ….
