Anyone ever had a gas leak in their house? There must have been a massive leak in this one and something arced to cause it to explode like that. Wish it showed the after effects up close though

I thought I saw Bruce Willis jumping out at the last second.

Same thing happened to a house like 20mins away from me a couple years ago. Guy i work with lived a few roads down from it and heard the explosion, it took out the 2 houses next to it as well.



Luckily the idiot electrician who drove the grounding rod into the underground gas line, smelt it after his lunch break and got everyone out of all the houses.
