Best to keep our eye out for a cover up. They knew a natural gas explosion wasn't going to fly from the start. Now where will they come up with military grade explosive?

They still believe it was a gas explosion...
The only thing the gas company said was that there were no gas leaks leading to the house. So they were determining if the gas leak was at some point in the house and have yet to confirm or deny that.
Yes, a gas explosion CAN cause the damage you see. So you can stop saying otherwise.edit on 20-11-2012 by illuminated0ne because: (no reason given)

Very unlikely. For one thing there wasn't any gas leaking when the authorities got there to investigate. If it was caused by a gas leak you would have had a gas pipe blowing gas out full blast. Wasn't happening.
Also it's not going to blow the house next door into little pieces.
Gas leak won't fly.

Police, fire and insurance investigators continue their probe into the explosion that killed Jennifer and Dion Longworth, neighbors of Shirley and Leonard who lived in the Perry Township home.
Shirley and Leonard were at the Hollywood Casino in Lawrenceburg when the explosion occurred.
For the first time, Fox59 News is getting a look inside the Shirley home before the blast.
When Shirley listed her home for sale in March 2011, a real estate agent took pictures of the property and its contents.
The photos depict a tastefully and comfortably decorated two-story, four-bedroom home.
Shown in the photos are tables, chairs, couches, beds and kitchen appliances—items investigators are looking for as they comb through the debris at Shirley’s home.
A disclosure form filed with the listing and signed by Shirley indicates no problems with the home’s gas furnace, water heater or fireplace or its electric stove and oven.
Shirley first listed the home for nearly $189,000. The price dropped to $149,000 before the home was taken off the market this past spring.
The filing contains notice that, “Seller discloses that the sale of this property will require lender approval of a short sale,” which would require Shirley to put up cash to complete the deal.
A source indicates that a short sale this past summer fell through due to Shirley’s inability to provide $30,000 as part of the bargain.
...
Upon the finding of the National Transportation Safety Board that the gas lines of Citizens Energy were not to blame for the blast, Indianapolis Homeland Security Chief Gary Coons said, “Our investigators believe natural gas is involved. They are currently in the process of recovering the appliances from the destroyed homes to help determine the cause. Based on the NTSB statement, our focus is on the houses and appliances.” Investigators have also recovered the gas meter from the home. They will test it to determine if it registered an unusual spike in natural gas usage the day of the blast.

That's a good point, but do you know this for sure? It seems common-sensical enough, but if the leak was from the appliance, when that blew, did the pipe supply have a cut off? Can you find out?
Also it's not going to blow the house next door into little pieces.
It might, you have no way of knowing this, circumstances may have just aligned perfectly for that to happen. Gas experts seem to say it's theoretically possible, just unusual for an accidental leak, and not seen before. It's a new record if it was an accidental gas leak from the one house.
Also there's no reason for explosions to be symmetrical outside of laboratory conditions, it would have been 'guided' by the structure and had a direction more one way than the other, at least in the epicenter.
If the gas was deliberately leaked to optimum levels that would make this destruction even more likely.
If you're saying cover-up, you mean the authorities are puzzled, but suspect something they don't want the public to know about, like an object from above? (because the authorities wouldn't still be investigating this much if they were the cause).
Can anyone find that doppler radar that showed the explosion and get the frames from a couple of seconds before the explosion, to check for incoming objects? That is, if doppler radar would detect and show a fast moving object, I don't know for sure.
Gas leak won't fly.
It's still totally within the realms of possibility, but when you find a reason that proves it's not, please let us know.
