Early Monday, Indianapolis public safety director Troy Riggs said forensic investigators were talking with utility companies and others as they tried to determine the cause.
"We need to make sure that we get some of the forensics back and that we follow where the evidence takes us,"
Riggs told WISH-TV. U.S. Rep. Andre Carson, who represents the area, has said he had been told a bomb or meth lab explosion had been ruled out.
Deputy Fire Chief Kenny Bacon said investigators hadn't ruled out any possible causes.
So what the heck?
If they hadn't ruled out any cause how can they rule out a bomb or meth lab?
Then they say this
Officials have not released the identities of the two people killed.

She and her husband, John Dion Longworth, lived in one of the homes destroyed in the blast. WTHR-TV reported that friends, family and colleagues of the teacher gathered at the school
Isn't that releasing the names of the two people killed?

Nice find. That one barely even damaged the house next door from the looks of it.

INDIANAPOLIS – The owner of a house that exploded in Indianapolis, killing two people and damaging dozens of homes so severely officials say they must be demolished, said Monday that a problem furnace could be at fault. John Shirley, 50, of Noblesville, told The Associated Press that his daughter sent him a text message last week complaining that the furnace in the home where she lives with her mother and her mother's boyfriend had gone out and required them to stay at hotel.

Great point. Would take a hell of a lot more heat to melt my tank of a 92 suburban, than it would to melt my 2004 BMW. Difference is night and day.edit on Mon, 12 Nov 2012 10:54:58 -0600 by TKDRL because: (no reason given)

Did I miss something. Who works for NASA. Are there any links to that?

That's the news for you (Never A Straight Answer)
It's official.
NASA is clearly involved with this explosion. Also considering the person who wasn't home at the time was away, and conveniently works for NASA as a Microbiologist.

I am not sure if posted, but here is what the two houses used to look like. The one on the left appears to have had a brick front.

The gas company is saying it was not a gas explosion, but don't we expect that kind of reaction when the utility company may be facing umpteen potential lawsuits?
Where do they say that?
Here is what I found:
Initial reports suggested a gas leak led to the explosion but investigators said they are looking at all possibilities.

First, my heart goes out to the people who have been affected by this. Its truly sad whenever someone dies.
From that photo, its clear to see where the blast originated from. Take note how most of the damage is on the left and right side, with partial damage showing how debris was pushed in the front towards the street and the back towards the house. People are claiming it was something that NASA did, which is completely false.
There was a explosion from a propane heater in a small town not too far from where I live. The scene looked just like this, except it was a smaller house - thus smaller amount of debris.
As for those who are claiming that something fell out of the sky and hit it, their would be a giant hole in the ground if this was the case.
Just my two cents.edit on 12-11-2012 by PieceOfThePuzzle because: (no reason given)

Text Guys me and my friend were hunting in Rock Island Tennessee the same night this happened and seen this HUGE light streak that lasted about 6 seconds in the sky. At first we thought it was a shooting star but no, it left a long trail of orange and it was VERY bright. But after 6 seconds it seemed like it burned out because the light got super bright then went out. I think this, let's say "meteor" and this is connected. This is something bigger getting covered up.
