#Pennsylvania #Explosion #Investigation
These fatal house explosions have been happening recently. very sad 🙁
I have yet to see an explanation for any of them.
@@VictorVictor-oq6dh it’s old pipes that are leaking. They need to replace pipes.
Have they ruled out COVID?
Hahaha😂😂😂
Yeah, the video doesn’t even mention COVID if you watched all 1:27 of it
@@Phirebirdphoenix oh good, I was about to start wearing a mask again 😷
@@Phirebirdphoenix that doesn’t mean COVID didn’t get them
Gas line to dryer leaking, or propane tank line leaking. The gas fills the floor first then as more leakage occurs the sea of gas rises up to the level of the pilot light on the water heater. BOOM
Do you know the pilot light is at the bottom of the heater? Do you know what floor a water heater is on?
@@ItsMe-vg4vjwell depends owner when they install it, can be on the ground floor, basement, etc. So it could be that the basement could have filled before leaking up to the ground level or the ground level floor could have filled with gas before leaking into the basement depending on the location of the pilot light. Until there more info on specifics on what caused the accident will we get a better idea of the sequence of events that lead up to the explosion.
Most houses aren’t airtight.
@@GroundByte 😂
Was it the propane tanks that exploded???
“Private gas well” 🤔
Not buyin what’s goin on here. Why so many of these, then blaming propane canisters. Something smells. . .
People are making their own marijuana vap canisters 😂
This is mostly avoidable. An inexpensive gas detector shutoff valve should be installed in ALL homes that have natural gas or propane. I have my own gas well and I have a sensor in each room that will turn off all gas to my house. IT WORKS!
Didn’t know this even existed, but I’ll certainly look into. Thanks for the advice ❤️

Natural gas and propane gas are not safe. Contrary to what the gas industries claim. 🌻🌷
Till death do us apart.
Is it just me or have there been a noticeably large amount of these “house explosions” lately? Hmmm.
Not just you. There’s been several.
Many.
Its an epidemic
Multiple of many incidents
Absolutely, this is the third one since Christmas, I believe.
KaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM GOES THE CRACK HOUSE
I hope they where registered Democrats…
So many house exp!osions, so little information as to why
Two propane tanks are still sitting by the shed. Something is wrong. Too many explosions.
There was a house explosion in my city about two weeks ago. Very rarely do you hear what caused these explosions that keep happening.
gas leak…. explosion
One happened about a month ago near me, too. It was a propane leak
This kind of thing is happening way too often right now
It’s all nothing but old gas pipes not being maintained.. It’s causing leaks. Gas company refuses to replace them because it’s very expensive
Why does this keep happening?
Many reasons. One is that individuals can maintain their property however they choose. Yes, even if it v10lat3s codes, laws, or guidelines. Another is that nothing lasts forever. And yet one more is that gas fumes are both explosive and often odorless. Finally, as one ages, the sense of smell is reduced… so one might not even detect the sulfuric additives in city-approved gas lines.
An oderless gas-filled house doesn’t take more than flipping a light switch to cause an explosion. Scary stuff.
@@tituswillowexactly. They had a private gas well too, so it’s not required to add the “rotten egg” scent. Their house was FULL and they had no idea…
dangerous county…
Buried propane tank?
.
“Small government” regulation in action.
Infrastructure is tearing apart, people of the country are dying in odd gas’s explosions and government is giving trillions other countries
Homeowners should take care of maintenance
They had a private gas well. Government has nothing to do with that.
Looks like they may have a serial crimi al
Ban houses
Not another one.
Propane never.
Special forces tattoo, mercury switches…
I laughed at that line in the theater when I heard it and every time since. Mercury switches are not high tech at all. Thanks for the memories. “He had paint!”
gas leak?
I wonder if they had some dirt on Joe Biden.
…or the Clintons.🤷
even houses dont like being in America, they keep blowing them self up
The dude had an explosive temper.
Lady, thats because it was.
There’s no telling unless they tell us the whole story on the investigation.There is no way To determine what was the actual cause. Looking at the disaster, it looks like it happened in the basement, so it could have been an Ignition point from a water Heater. Or maybe the furnace kicking on if there is a gas leak propane usually hovers low. Natural gas tends to be lighter and goes.Airising
I can’t believe they actually found two bodies.
That is unfortunate.
So sad!
Another house explosion! Day after day , it’s starting to feel like some sort of Space War
What is a private gas well, I’ve never heard of it?
Please respect the gas well’s privacy.
It’s a shallow well drilled that provides material gas to tanks then the house
Looks like a Walter White special
In Crested Butte Colorado in 1989 a bank exploded and killed several people due to a propane leak that had built up in the basement over the weekend and when an employee turned on the light switch the building collapsed! A close friend of mine survived . It turned out the propane company knew that they had a leak but it was too expensive for them to track down! Propane is a heavy gas which collects in crawl spaces etcetera. It’s important to have a drain for that propane in case of a leak
This couldn’t be a country trying to tell us something would it
What’s up with all these houses exploding here lately
I guess the first thing is to see if anyone wants the land
