Default Once there was a house



Then along came a digger..



Then the house was no more..


I didn't read the story, but in about 96% of these house explosions,
a crew dug into a gas pipe. The leaking gas follows the water pipes etc
into the basements of nearby homes.

The first sign of trouble is a bunch of union guys running away from the area,
followed within a few minutes, by a loud blast..

Yes, gas can be dangerous if handled by really stupid people..
