Yes, and that would be one high tech weapon

I haven't seen photos of melted cars. I remain skeptical. I favor the gas line explosion for reasons 1 and 2 as I posted.
But if true they was a melted car then that my friend was no gas line explosion.
I await someone with photo evidence of a melted car.

This has been reported in several places......!!! I don't make this up...just repeating the info I have read
yeah you obviously havn't looked at the pictures and extrapolated the damage, please tell me how an aerial photo of 1/10th of the neighborhood tells you the damage of the other 9/10's? If my house was shaking on its foundation 5 miles away, I can't imagined what the blast felt like 100ft from it, enough to kill anyone who was outside. You are simply stating the opposite of all the official reports. I mean at first it's okay because maybe you have a different viewpoint, but you aren't even looking at the damage, the houses are shifted off their foundation because of that sonic boom, would you want to live in one of those houses? You'd be foolish to say yes... and thats why they have been deemed uninhabitable. Someone from Citizens Gas(not CEG, not sure where you got that info from) said there was no leak found at the explosion site, and no residue was found in initial investigations.

Actually my comments to your post WERE directed at "them" as I DID read your links.
My responses, therefore, were not really to you, but rather with regards to the information you linked - which i still maintain - is utterly ridiculous.
Now it's not 30 homes but 100+ that need to be demolished?
FFS... are people blind? LOOK AT THE PHOTOS!
MAYBE 10 houses total that seem like they suffered some residual damage????
100..... LOL....... thay may as well just try and convince everyone that the whole damn state needs to be rebuilt

Yes, with such a wide range of damage and destruction being reported, it would seem there would be many injuries. Maybe there are, but we just haven't heard about them yet. Hopefully there is no other injuries, aside from the ones already announces. It would suck to have your family destroyed along with your home.
At least two people were killed and seven others were injured following an explosion on the city's southeast side.

3 psi.. lol
The amount of pressure stays the same, it has nothing to do with how far or how many. 3 psi is enough pressure to destroy a "typical" residential home.edit on 11-11-2012 by Hijinx because: (no reason given)
