#Ohio #Explosion #CaughtOnCamera
Why are there so many massive gas explosions recently around the country? And where was all the flame from that gas explosion we just saw?
If Trump were president gas would never explode.
@@DAndyLordwrong answer
@@DAndyLord Drumpf can’t change chemistry
It’s not a conspiracy. Calm down Qaren.
Since the gas lines that were cut were in the basement, I suspect that area is where any flames were ignited. The rest of the building got hit by the pressure of the blast, particularly the shaft of the elevator, which likely caused damaged to all of the floors that it serviced.
what if this is like an inside job and al the crews around the conjtry are plotting
Yep…trump plotting revenge. A former cabinet member lived there…he tried to take him out
What if puppies are actually aliens?
Could be the Gazpacho 9000 space based laser platform. Project top secret as the WW2 Gonkulator.
whutif
@@karmakazi219 puppies are government plants
This was a CIA attempted assassination…
I work 15 minutes from the blast location 😕
You are very special and now we all feel connected to this tragedy due to you being 15 minutes from the blast. May you continue to be blessed
Bring on the ridiculous conspiracy Qarens.
It was the Mafia
Right cause us conspiracy theorists are the ridiculous ones in society. Not Jeffrey Epstein and his associates
It’s what happens when you cut education budgets. People are getting dumber and dumber. They used to teach critical thinking in grade school in the boomer generation, by the time I got to high school, you were ridiculed and attacked for thinking critically and asking questions. Only once I got to college was I encouraged to think critically. I learned how dumb people are in my first job, where someone I talked to didn’t know there’s no difference between order 356 and order 3 5 6. We need to pour money into education, like we do with the military. Without it, society is doomed.
They need to stop indoctrinating kids into socialism too, let them make up their OWN minds for once.
BUT, can’t have that. 🤷♂️🤦
@@heyaisdabomb, how is that manifesto coming along? Don’t be visiting any malls, churches or concerts.
Buildings exploding, 3 major water main breaks in Atlanta simultaneously in 1 day. Last year I believe it was all the train derailments & chemical spills. Anyone can rationalize that it’s a freak accident, things happen. You you start looking at it, these accidents aren’t looking like freak accidents anymore. They are compounding this creating a pattern of chaos and destruction. Something just ain’t right. I don’t know why but it’s too many things to be a coincidence.
Lack of health and safety regulations removed.
Tell me about the flat earth and the stolen election.
Are you trying to suggest that there’s a pattern to these incidents? Like it being some kind of ritual?
And if yes, what kind of ritual? 🤨
Corporations cut corners on safety and workload (longer hours less rest) to maximize profit and the holy share price, government oversight is defunded or minimized by laws written by corporate lobbyists. Worker’s rights orgs (unions) fought by corporate interests and bought pols, backed by corp media. In the end it boils down to a lot of corps operating unsafely, innocent people dying, but no change. 😢
MILITARIZED AIRPLANES PERSONNEL POSITIONED DIRECTLY OVER US, OUTSIDE BEDROOM WINDOWS, AGGRESSIVELY ACCELERATING, TRAUMATIC TERRORIZING BULLING MINORITIES IN THEIR RESIDENTIAL! UNPROVOKED @user-no4fbb4di2i @RosesandRoseblessings112
CIA : must be chinese agent
NASA : not this must be alien
People keep cutting gas lines?
God was watching that lady and her baby that would’ve been in front of the elevator
Did he sleep when ISIS were slowly beheading and burning their prisoners alive?
So why did gawd let the gas blow up? Not his department?
God didn’t want them
You mythology believers say the dumbest stuff. Why would your imaginary friend allow the explosion in the first place? Oh wait, I think I gave away the reason. Oops?
I think the siren made her choose the stairs, that’s what we were supposed to do at my condo.
Life is cheap in the firearm-infested country
Exactly what are you implying is probably the stupidest thing on this discussion board
Firearms had absolutely NOTHING to do with the gas explosion, numbnuts.
Try again.
So who live there connected to either Boeing or the Clinton’s?
Is this a thing now?
I suspect you’re about to go down a horrifying rabbit hole. Best of luck.
As the scripture says: “we walk in the valley of the shadows of death” every day. That lady with the baby had no idea that death was present. 🙏
How much says they were undocumented workers that didn’t know any better. Looks like copper Juan cut it. 👀👀
They cut into the gas lines. Its called LIABILITY
It’s called “this is what happens when you defund grade school education”.
I have a lot of training and practical first hand live experience in explosives and FLAG, that’s flammable liquids and gasses. State level training and certification for my former job and service in the USMC 2002-2006 as an infantry rifleman. That didn’t look like a gas explosion that I have EVER seen. 👍
But the question will be…were the lines properly labeled on the building schematics? Were they even reading the schematics? Were the gas pipes in the space they were supposed to be in? Was the gas supposed to be turned off during the work in the first place?
It wasn’t active. It was pressurized (had gas in it) when it wasn’t supposed to.
That crew made up of what Criteria and how many codes where broke with the gas line not marked
Close the borders
Why kid the damage is done and Mexico DID NOT PAY FOR ANY WALL😅😂
And the media think we the people rely on them for the truths hind sight is only around the corner
Easy lawsuit
You’re so right. But I bet that the victims would rather not be injured or killed over any type of compensation.
God bless fire and rescue 🙏🏿 EMT crew as well. Truly underappreciated and I want my tax dollars going to these great men and women in uniform and not to fund genocides overseas 💯
Insurance companies will cover
Big fallacy.
Everything is a ticking clock
smart watch
Ohio again QUALITY work. Scab labor or Union?
Why dies this remind me of Timothy McVey?
That was a fertilizer explosion. This was LNG.
I think the OKC blast was worse by virtue of volume and casualties.
Because you’re a conspiracy nutt thats why!😅😂 They clearly stated this was an accident lol.
Praise God that lady and her baby made it away from those elevators just in time 🙏🏻
If you believe in “god” then you also believe he let that accident happen, just like he chose not to help all the people who die young. Quite the sicko.
@@Renard380 I’ll pray for you brother 🙏🏻
A big reason why theres so much crime now, cause so many dont believe
One day we won’t have to use decentralized flammable gas supplies for cooking or heat.
Heat pumps work better
Nice try, Biden
REMEMBER PALESTINIAN ❤ WHO WERE MURDERED BY ISRAELIS ZIONISTS SUPPORTED BY AMERICAN ZIONISTS.
Why is it that 90% of the time, that do not up load to YouTube the NBC nightly news with Jose??? You will up Sunday edition, and every other new for the week, but somehow you fail most the get Jose Diaz velart.. Come on get your guys’s act together on saturday night. Gotta bunch of chimps down there, running the show.And failing to upload the NBC nightly news with Jose.And in fact if it was my decision I would have jose doing saturday and sunday.
seems the gas line was sabotaged by a disgruntled tRump supporter after the guilyu verdict. Sick ppl
Why is the NTSB investigating a gas leak explosion? 🤔 Is there a train station near by? It didn’t mention that.
NTSB jurisdiction includes pipelines (i.e also including gas lines).
Cuz your a conspiracy nutt thats why😅😂
@@nickmitchell8689I never knew that but it makes sense I guess since you are “ transporting “ whatever is in the pipeline.
God bless these firefighters. God bless all first responders.
Firefighters/ first responders are the closest to super heroes we have. Dudes run into the chaos of whatever horrible event is going on without a doubt. They are incredible
Getting rid of empty office space? Insurance fraud? 🤔
Not when the party admits it.
So why was the gas still on ?
I would assume they weren’t supposed to be doing anything related to gas so turning off the main line or whatever they hit may not be something they can just do. Even if they did it doesn’t solve what already accumulated. Imagine how much is likely pouring out if it’s some main line to the entire building.
Not trying to justify anything but I can imagine how this probably went down. Usually these lines must be clearly marked and/or the gas company comes to mark them ahead of time when necessary. I’m guessing neither happened and it wasn’t where it was supposed to be.
I’d like to know if primary lines have an auto shutoff once an excessive flow rate is detected. That seems like a safeguard large buildings should have by now but it may not always matter.
How many people were killed ?
One man. He was in the stairway, believed to be headed to the vault. His head was crushed from concrete blocks from what I’ve heard from a local firefighter.
Climate change! Every Democrat knows this people!
I bet they still expect rent this month too 🤧💔
God bless the heroic firefighters. Be safe.
LOL 😆 The Qanuts in the comments with their nonsensical conspiracy theories. 😆😂🤣
811! It’s not an accident as much as negligence. Prayers for injured.
That firefighter putting the woman on his back and then climbing a ladder.! We love our heroes!!!❤❤❤❤
P.s. Who is stupid enough to cut gas lines???
Thankful for that woman and her baby not being harmed. Thankful for those first responders. Thank you.
” gas leak “
That was actually smart to pull the fire alarm becuase if they didn’t pull it and if the building exploded cause it to collapse then basically this would been bad.
My God **Jehovah** was Surely looking out for that young Mom and her baby boy 🙏🏽 💜
Here before a kid comments “oNly iN oHIo”
Wow I don’t have a job but THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE STILL WORK TO THIS DAY!! Killing people!!!!
I apply to jobs every day and it’s always some oh sorry. Mean while the CREW WHO IS QUALIFIED KILLED PEOPLE
