This gas explosion just occurred in Springfield, MA and was caught on Video. What the heck is going on with all these homes going up in smoke? This looks like a building in the middle of the city. What's weird is the video itself. It was taken from something other than a normal street cam. Looks like someone was just waiting for something to happen... check out the plume in this one.

Initial investigations showed that a gas leak likely caused the blast that also shattered windows of buildings near the restaurant.
The house explosion that killed two people, destroyed five homes and damaged dozens more in an Indianapolis neighbourhood is now being investigated as a homicide, authorities said, though no suspects have been named. Indianapolis Homeland Security Director Gary Coons announced the criminal investigation on November 19.
Officials say they believe natural gas was involved in the explosion, which destroyed five homes and left dozens damaged. Investigators have focused on appliances in their search for a cause. The explosion caused an estimated $4.4 million in damage.

Was that other one finally confirmed as a gas explosion? That thread had over a hundred pages and I still think people were arguing over what it was.They didn't detect any gas in the area so I have hard time believing the other one was a gas explosion. What evidence do they have this one was a gas explosion?

I find it odd that the explosion is centered in the camera.
and what an odd place for a city CAM to be located anyways...can't even see any street activity..just rooftops.
