7:30 am explosion in Irvington
 

Anyone else feel the shock from the explosion in Irvington this morning. I was brushing my teeth when the windows in my house shook and I heard a huge BOOM.

Got to work and saw 2 homes in Irvington exploded. 1 dead and 5 injured. Supposedly one of the homes was scheduled for demolition and the other was being rebuilt. Workers had just arrived and it was a possible gas leak.

Freaky schtuff....

Yep, gas leak explosion. I just talked to OEM.

JW :D

I was in the kitchen cleaning a dish...........I heard it and I came out. I see, I assessed the situation

that sucks. Sounds like urban renewal.

meth labs :)

Is this you, MFC?

Nah, Irvington's all about weed, coke and heroin. It was a house under construction and it appears that some junkie rocket scientist entrepeneur was trying to steal copper pipe from one of the houses, which was being renovated. Apparently, a copper pipe looks a lot like the gas main to a junkie and, well...kaboom. Think he'll get the Darwin this year?

tell him what you told me. That's not what he told me!

yea thats wat news12 sed lol

Original Equipment Manufacturer? how do they know? they just make parts

wow thats some crazy stuff. i was gonna say that sucks that someone died, but i think this idiot kind of had it coming :?

that "idiot" was my friend's girlfriend's father. Thanks.

Just read another story about it. Looks like the junkie trying to steal the pipe isn't the person who got killed. That figures. Sorry for her loss.
