Just how much gas would it take to do that? How long would you have to leave it uncapped and pouring out of a 1/2 inch gas line. Couldn’t they smell it?8562bb2c75d0699ea7b6e99c9fcc9744.jpg

 

IDK man. Something fishy going on there. Consider the following:

 

Quote

The explosion and large fire in Plum, Pennsylvania, a suburb northeast of Pittsburgh, marked at least the third time in 15 years a home has exploded in the borough. It destroyed three houses and damaged at least a dozen more, authorities said.

A 6th person has died after the house explosion outside Pittsburgh, officials say (msn.com)

 

Don't move to Plum, Pennsylvania.

That’s the part that I don’t get. With 6 people in the house, how did none of them notice the smell of the house filling with enough gas to create an explosion of that size.

There’s got to be a problem with the oderant in the gas. That’s probably where the lawsuits coming out of this are going to focus.

If leak small and under ground, etc the odorant can get absorbed into the soil or concrete, whatever it's passing though leaving only the odorless natural gas getting through.  The odorant is really only highly effective for knowing if an exposed connection or pipe is leaking.  If I'm living in that neighborhood I'm getting a natural gas detector for my house pronto. (note - carbon monoxide detectors won't alert you to gas leaks either, they are for improper ventation from burning the gas, not the gas itself)

Wow. Dude probably has 3rd degree burns on his arms and will be scarred for life.  Lower part of his pants melted too.
On another note, those firefighters didn't seem to know what the fuck they were doing.  When the dude ran in, why didn't they start blasting the area with water to help him out?

Interesting. My guess is that’s what happened with one of the earlier house explosions in that area. Apparently someone was doing some sort of digging near the foundation and nicked it bent the gas line and over time it developed into a sufficient enough leak over time that it built up in the house and exploded. 

My boss lives close enough to this recent one that the explosion rattled her windows and she installed national gas detectors a few days after it happened.

They make them now that does CO2 and natural gas.

Another possibility is its natural gas as in seeping straight out of the ground no pipe involved. That area is a huge drilling field. Gas has no odor until they add it during refining. A detector would pick it up, but if it's naturally seeping and you build a space for it to accumulate... boom.
