Test adding an image from my iPad. I previously added an image to the site from my office Windows 7 box. A member wasn't able to add a pic here.

There is certainly more to the story which we don't yet know. I have been involved in blowing up houses on purpose with both natural gas and propane with full instrumentation packages and using stochiometric mixtures. It is very HARD to get enough natural gas into a house to create an explosion of this level with the reduced pressure side the residential appliances operate on. Having investigated a large number of building explosions, I know it will take some time to sort it out. The furnace...speculation at this point.

Yeah, but haven't you ever seen any movies staring Steven Segull?

Saw the guy in one of those "Bourne" movies blow up a huge propane tank from about 200 ft. away with a 12 ga. loaded with birdshot. Ain't buying that bullshit either.

Years ago Ross Carter of Carter custom Guns was seriously burned when his house exploded. There was a serious investigation and to the best of my knowledge, they never did decide what the cause was.

Looks like there was a problem with the furnace.

Arrests made yesterday:

He said investigators determined that Shirley's home filled up with gas after a gas fireplace valve and a gas line regulator were removed. A microwave, apparently set to start on a timer, sparked the explosion, he said.

The group apparently tried to blow it up 8 days earlier and failed...

That does it. Absolutly no more houses. None of this shit happened when we were in caves.
