Wow. That is truly unexpected! Condolences.

Yeah, busted high pressure gas line....who would have ever thought there might be an explosion!! Totally unexpected. Aliens landing would be more expected than that certainly!

 

[JimmiG]

Wow.

District heating and electric stoves have their advantages..

 

[Ichinisan]

Quite a spectacle. Was the cause electrical?

I thought so, but the sparks that were on the vid came after the explosion.

It could have been anything, including an outdoor smoker, a pilot light, or a "classic" thermostat clicking on.

They showed it twice on the news, and I think I saw two guys standing outside to the right side of the building (from our POV).... Just bad in every possible way. Like something out of a movie!
