Yes! Five years ago a compressed gas pipeline that was in the neighborhood where I grew up (and where my parents still lived) exploded. It destroyed several homes in the initial fire and shoved two homes off their foundations. Amazingly, only a few people suffered injuries and no one was killed. One of our neighbors, a state trooper, acted heroically to save a woman and her child from their house. He received extensive burns on his hands, but has recovered now. He was awarded a medal from the Governor and is now retired.
Leave that credulous stuff to YouTube ghost sightings.
Love the blog, but this is not cool.
