Let me guess. Another natural gas disaster.

For some odd reason the media isn't reporting it as a natural gas explosion. 

Interesting. Across the board there is no reporting of the natural gas explosion. None.

I take it the flames were extinguished after the gas line was shut down.

It is amazing how potent the power of the petroleum industry is in the USA. Let me guess, the gas leak came through the kitchen sink which was dripping.

One was holding his ears and saying "Loud noise, loud noise."...
