My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected. Life Is so uncertain. You go to work at a reasonably safe job and don't come home. Tragic.

The videos look like a bomb was dropped from the sky. I've never seen an explosion like that. Prayers to the people impacted by this explosion.

Yep, 3 blocks away having drinks. It was crazy, there must have been 40 fire trucks and a **** ton of ambulances. Had to be a gas explosion
