Probably water.

^ Definitely water from the fire department putting out the blaze.

Glad to see all the junior detectives are hard on the case.

I am sure it has been posted by now, but I have never seen a house here obliterated like that. They said 31 homes were damaged so bad they had to be demolished, and 80 houses were damaged. They will probably say gas, but I cannot see this being gas. They are saying a bomb and meth lab are ruled out, but I really can't see this being a gas explosion.

I do not think that there is any way that this could be an caused by a falling object. With this amount of damage, there would have to be a crater. I also doubt it is a gas explosion either, since this incident was way to violent. I am going to speculate that this is a bomb of some kind. Either stored in the house, or hopefully not... someone was assembling one and it detonated. The answers will certainly come out soon.

Water doesn't leave black stains on concrete, you can see where the road is wet, i'm talking about all the black stains

think i'm gonna hang it up for now, ill leave with this

falling object

Erm am I missing something ? There only seems to damage to 2 or 3 houses ... Sorry it might be the fact and done the school boy error of not reading all the pages

Edit: make that 4 or 5 houses ... But but looks like a gas explosion to me

all the roofing shingles?
looking better i can even see the unburnt debris that would be typical of a decent roof for that region, able to carry a good snow load, you can see what is left of the 2x10 i beleive would be used for the ridge as well a lot of ply wood sheathing.

[more this tree is split in half at the top, below it, it's whole. I agree, definately looks like something snipped a good chunch of tree off, leaving the sides still there....

No no. You need to look at the good overhead shots on yahoo. There are chunks missing out of houses all around.

They apparently have 31 houses that will have to be demolished according to yahoo, and 80 are damaged.

No it doesn't leave black stains, but the portion of wet asphalt will appear darkened compared to the rest as long as it is wet.

You have never seen wet splotches on asphalt?

"More than 200 residents were evacuated from their homes. Some two dozen homes were damaged by the blast.

Of the 80 homes affected, 31 suffered major damage. Five of those homes will require demolition and 26 have been temporarily deemed uninhabitable.

Officials have sorted homes into three categories: 1) homes that folks can occupy, 2) homes that are structurally questionable and 3) homes unsafe for anyone to enter.

Engineers have inspected all 126 homes in the affected neighborhood. Firefighters have escorted some homeowners to get items out of some homes. "

Whatever it was , the thing I find most absurd is that people dont think it could be a gas explosion because there is just too much damage in their minds. Things burn after they explode, use some common sense and maybe do a couple image searches for natural gas explosions before you make a rediculous statement like, no that much damage cant be caused by gas...Im not saying for sure it was gas, but it sure as hell looks like it was.

Well who would have thought that would happen on ATS an OVER EXAGGERATED thread title

Easy to say when you're hundreds of miles away, try being a few miles away and counting your blessings(im not religious) that it wasn't you or your family.

I'm not even sure what you arre talking about anyway? is this not mass devastation to you, does 3?4?5?6? houses have to be obliterated to be considered mass destruction? does a nuke have to go off? Speculation =/= exaggeration. Either way the cause hasn't even been found and your occams razor theory HAS been ruled out it was not a natural gas explosion according to press conference with impd and gas company.

Property is not the important factor its life, this happened in Scotland a few years ago all the family killed in their sleep.



Or this in Lockerbie in Scotland when the 747 was blown out of the sky 259 killed on the flight 11 on the ground and not as important many houses destroyed .



No it's the simple fact on here when people try to make a thread attract attention with stuff like this in the title

"Giant sonic boom felt and heard in Indianapolis Indiana(meteor? mass devastation Info blocade"

Sonic boom or is it an explosion HOW do they know ?

Meteor WHY is that the first thought ?

Info blockade What makes them think that?

Anytime anything happens some members on here scream media blackout when its obvious they are talking BS!

The the hundred or so black spots, the black spots all over the part of road/sidewalk/driveway, could just be shingles or pieces of tar paper idk. Not the obviously wet pavement.
