Sounds like a Pretty Crazy explanation for the Explosion. But whatever the Cause was, you can be sure We will never Know the Truth! ::shrug::

David Brooks, aka "Sorcha Faal", is notorious for starting conspiracy crap like that.

For instance, he/she stated the BP oil rig was blown up by the Chinese Navy.

Just Google the name.

Here's one match:

OK, I get the picture. Thanks for the link Charlie. That pic of the site is frightening. What could have caused an explosion like that? Neighborhood looks to new to have natural gas.

???????????????????

Natural gas is a huge heating source in the Midwest. I would assume it is also very big in the Cincinnati area. Maybe you meant "too new to have a natural gas leak"??

Natural gas leak is right up there but I'm still not ruling out Meth lab. Yeah, yeah, it sounds a little far fetched that two school teachers are cooking Meth but not as far fetched as two Hellfire missiles.

::hmm:: Although, I can hear 'em now. "We'll send in a drone and take them out with a couple of Hellfire missiles. No one will ever believe that would happen in Indianapolis Indiana." :lol: :lol:

What else could cause an explosion that large? Sure wasn't left over fireworks from 4th of July. Maybe they were undercover terrorists and their C-4 blew up???

More likely IMO than two Hellfire missiles fired from a predator drone, but who knows these days? Image

I have seen pics of a house totally blown apart by an exploding electric hot water heater, but I don't recall the fire.
Perhaps it was a combination of a natural gas leak and an exploding gas water heater. ::shrug::

No, I meant too new to have natural gas. In my part of the country new subdivisions are all-electric, or at least that's my impression. The older neighborhoods, such as mine, do have natural gas.

Well you have the TVA down there. I assume that's why they push electricity. Sorry I misunderstood.

They started all-electric homes here in the 60's/70's and they were called "Medallion Homes". I think that there was some kind of incentive but can't remember what it was. In my neighborhood which was built in mid 50's we have gas and electricity, in my daughter's neighborhood (subdivision), built around 2000 they are all electric, with the utilities run under-ground. Probably cheaper to run one utility instead of two? I can't speak for all the newer subdivisions, but the ones that I have visited don't have gas. One of the reasons may be that we have four electric generating plants along the Ohio River between Lawrencburg, IN and Moscow, OH.

the lack of a crater at the explosion site rules out hellfire missles...they make a hole in the ground.

a meth lab could do the job..but the size of this explosion is beyond a mom an pop drug lab.
