My Condolences to those 20+ people that were hurt and injured.
In my opinion this was not a Gas Leak that caused this explosion, it seems to me that the ‘Fireball’ that caused most of the burns was the result of a chemical reaction of some volatile chemicals. I believe this because only one apartment was damaged and gas would have caused more damage than that.
There could have been a Meth Lab operating in the building as the residents of the building has stated.
Most of us know that Crack is no longer popular and Meth is gaining favor in Harlem and if it does take hold, I pity us!
