- Crews are searching the debris of the house explosion in Plum, looking for clues to what caused the blast. KDKA-TV's Meghan Schiller explains what happens next.
This was absolutely insane. Unless you have been around explosions you just can’t fathom what this was like.
Were your there?
Takes the air out of your lungs, stuns you, and gives you tinnitus for hours. Makes you glad to be alive.
@@ericakilbourn9716dude shut up, he never said he was there
a house down the street was hoarding fireworks last year and thier whole house exploded, I think luckily everyone was out of the house., but same thing, it rattled my windows, if the house was a bit close my windows would've shattered, a few houses down thier windows shattered.
All 6 people who died were in that house. One of whom worked for the people's gas and his 12yr old son was in there too. My point is, whatever happened wasn't expected. He wouldn't have his son in there, if there was a strong odor of gas. Something blew that house without them having any indicators that they were in danger.
what kind of gas?? NG doesn't have an odor. Propane has an added odor. Ammo dump doesn't smell.
Interesting. Have they looked into quintuple murder suicide? Why? Because that was a natural gas explosion.
Since natural gas doesn't actually smell like anything, a chemical called mercaptan is added to help you detect a leak. Mercaptan has a very distinct and unpleasant odor that many people compare to the smell of rotten eggs.
Depend on the leak if they smell It or not, but almost always you should now adays...unfortunately it also smells like sewage...which can be confusing
Also if you ever smell fish randomly in your house it could be an electrical fire.
BS with that amount of gas he would have smelled it! He blew his family up

I'd be scared as hell to live in this neighborhood after this occurred. If something is beneath the soil and leaked in and found a source of ignition, it could happen to any of those neighboring houses. I wonder what is next for this neighborhood if something like that is found.
The value of their home tanked
11 houses were unable to be lived in
@@WildestWestVR I didn’t hear that, that’s awful. I hope they all had current insurances.
It appears they are trying to blame other sources I hear, besides anything underground.
@@tigergreg8 Well, the gas company uses underground areas so they are trying to do anything to not have the blame pinned on themselves. One of the only reasons I know that is because I live about 2 miles away, and we drove over because the blast was strong enough to shake our house. There was 1 house that blew up and 2 others that burnt down, but 11 other houses were condemned so 14 houses were unable to be used.
I also live live in Pittsburgh, but haven't heard too much about this. I was getting the impression, they wanted to make it seem like the water heater. Really??? LoL @@WildestWestVR
They need to get the rest of those people out of that neighborhood, this wasn’t a water heater explosion…
So sad. May those that did not survive rest in peace. I hope the survivor make a full recovery.
The survivor died yesterday

Keep shit to yourself if you are unable to be respectful.
One of these happened in my town (Charlotte, NC) a few years ago, and natural gas was to blame. A couple came home from a trip, smelled something strange, and accidentally ignited the gas. Gas supplied from the utility should have an odor to it (methyl mercaptan), but anything leaking from a mine might be undetectable to the human nose.
So, in other words, there’s really no way to prevent something like this from happening?
@@ckells Maybe not an easy way, but you could use gas leak sensors. Ideally, there could be some way of connecting them to a security system so that the fire department gets notified before there is an actual fire or explosion.
@@ckellsdon't use natural gas. Isn't that a solution?
@@ckells The original poster is speculating on one of MANY possible causes for this blast. No evidence has been put forward yet either way.
There are many things that can mitigate natural gas from leaking up into your house. most builders and developers are well aware of them.
Gas from a mine? That’s not where it comes from. Gas will always be from a pipeline unless your house has a backyard ontop of the natural gas drill site which it can’t as they’re considered fault/sinkhole threats and it’s illegal to be within a certain range to the actual machinery/site/direct work location as it’s a major hazard in health/safety/normal daily life
And they always pump it to smell like eggs doesn’t matter what the gas is if it’s pumped into a house and flammable it smells like eggs otherwise it’s illegal.
You’re correct about the soil tho it happens (you can think of it like those gasoline anthills you see a person pour the gas and light the match then the whole yard blows up not just the anthill people are dumb and many aren’t as careful with fires- they don’t realize the liquid gas also has gaseous flammable properties so they don’t think the area around the liquid is flammable when it actually IS. Let alone hey this is how gas escapes from ground/soil/rock/ice/water/air/etc)
This house had not only gas stoves but also had a chimney - if it wasn’t a wood fed fire it was probably a gas or electric replacement while it’s not on during the summer day during the night it maybe used if it’s cold or people are older. Gas or electric fireplaces will have sparks. - most fireplaces are on the first floor surrounded by stone in mansions tho fireplaces can be located in bedrooms or on second floor parlors/living rooms. Typically not the top floors as heat rises it’s not necessary in the attics and top floors.
There’s also automatic heaters that kick on at specific times or at specific temps if the basement has a furnace or some type of heater which uses a spark to work it can ignite the sub ground floor and yard and as the foundation is destroyed it falls down and the fire and explosion goes up and out any gas above that sub ground level also ignite.
THIS IS UNREAL. OUT OF A MOVIE
have you seen the RING doorbell footage? Not even Michael Bay would have gone to those lengths in his films.
It reminds me of the house explosion in the beginning of “those who want me dead” …..
Judging from the explosion video, with the explosion mostly going upward, it seems the explosion happened in the basement. two neighboring houses were destroyed as well, but not by separate explosions.
The 2 adjacent homes completely burned down after the explosion. And many other homes in the neighborhood were damaged, a couple so heavily that they will need to be torn down because they are no longer structurally safe.
Natural gas has always freaked me out a little bit because of these type of explosions that can happen.
No way I could live in a house that has that
Who says this is NG, also gas smells like eggs in small amounts.... to have this kind of result the house would have had tobe completely full of gas and everyone in there would have been ignoring it..
@TNCtheband lol i kindof a half brained comment but whatever, gas has been used for years and how ofter does this happen? If the equipment in the house isnt kept up on maintenance and leaks than there will be issues...just like the electrical and the plumbing systems... all can cause damage when they arent repaired when needed...
Natural gas from a service has added smell indicators, and having a natural gas detector should be manditory safety item in all homes with natural gas.
Something isn’t adding up if it was natural gas.
Imagine the thousands of people who already live in fear now having a new thing to be scared about.
Rip😢. Oh my God. Now the neighborhood will live in constant never ending fear, and they will get panic attacks all the time. I can’t imagine myself living in this kind of situation. God please help them and protect them all.😞🤲🏼💔
I’m could be wrong but I thought they said it was not a gas explosion. Does anyone else recall that the initial report said it definitely was not a gas explosion?
I did,because I was wondering,if not gas,then WHAT WAS IT???!!!!
There was an early report of a "hot water tank issue". If they don't have safety features, they can go off from pressure build-up. But this explosion was way too big for that.
My first thoughts was someone had a meth lab and it became unstable I have heard that could take out an entire block before!
I recall them saying that every gas line was working properly
@@raptorman48 my thoughts too or a vendetta
Looking for the TRUTH in today's world? Good Luck!
That's one way to clean all the clutter out of the basement in a hurry.

Good call w/ the expert .
Who in this comment section is content with it being a natural gas leak? …like “whoops, the pilot light went out on the water heater” or “darn, I accidentally left the stove gas on”, or “someone must’ve bumped the gas key on the chimney”? Anyone think it was a few cans of paint thinner or an open jug of old gasoline? ….just curious about what you, the reader/viewer thinks.
That was never gas or any flammable household stuff. More like dynamite or some kind of high explosive.
RIP to everyone who lost their lives :(
Name 1 place NATO has invaded by military means where they haven't been used in civilian areas. The design is there to attract children. NATO know from a long history that you can defeat a group if the parents are also dealing with grief over a lost child. M. Albright is proud that NATO killed 500,000 children in Iraq as the closing event from Gulf War I. NATO did a drone strike on 10 children as they left Afghanistan, just to show their 'power'. Dresden was also a 'sign' to nations what could be done should they go against 'the winners' of a self-engineer war that ended up killing 600M people. The EU Bankers suffered zero losses
Years ago we were w mom on way someplace in the old station wagon. Suddenly a block away a house blew up from a gas explosion. It just vaporized. That old Pontiac took the blast head on
Jumping up like a stallion rearing back as the fireball came at us. Just like in the movies.
That old car saved our lives. Bent the frame, dented metal but no kids or windows broken. It was summer and had all the windows down.
My mother, one to never waste an Emergency, yelled at us as all hell had broken lose, "this is why you wear your damn seat belt."
We had been in the road, far right lane. We landed on the sidewalk. As my older brothers tried to get the car started and on a side street, mom went to see if she could help anyone.
Long short, two people were blown to pieces, we saw a hand in the road. And a few others on the street hurt.
My mom, tough as nails, limped the station wagon to my dad's factory. She was cool as a cucumber. Dad came out and saw the beat up car, us kids still covered in soot and crap. Mom started to tell him. This is where she began to sob and hug us kids and dad. She cried and cried. I remember the guys dad worked with called their wives. The car was mangled. The company secretary took us to our grandparents as mom and dad set out to get the car fixed and give mom a break. Cool in any emergency. Fell apart once she got us safe.
The explosion took out two houses, killed two, totaled three cars on the street. Debris landed miles away.
Holy crap! What a story! Glad you lived to tell it.
@@fartsmccracken1445 thanks
Sending condolences to the families!! God blessed these families
If there was a god it wouldn't have happened
funny how they were quick to dismiss gas right from the start. WTF else would do that unless they were building a bomb ?
I thought of a bomb at first as well. However, no government agency is currently involved. So it's definitely gas
Could have been a meth lab explosion!
I pray this gets resolved asap, I can't fathom another explosion happening again. May they rest in peace
Looks like a public service message for electricity.
Years ago I read about a house that blew up like this from a gas leak that was not even hooked up to City gas. An underground gas pocket from a natural source had leaked into the basement and built up.
Methane gas is ALWAYS present when fracking, mining even from decades ago. Heck, its in our landfills where we dump our trash. The fact that there are gas wells so close could possibly be a release from the gas underneath these houses. There have been issues with methane gasses in some neighborhoods that at one time were landfills.
Isn't methane the reason that Centralia is still burning?
@@The99thCondition No. There is no smell to methane gas. The rotten egg smell is put in their manually to be able to smell the gas if there's a leak in your home.
@johnnyjunerudisill1719 no, that is from an underground coal seam fire.
This can't possibly be gas, right? This was Dynamite or a bomb. Wouldn't it look like the atmosphere was catching on fire if it was gas?
There was a home that blew up in the. Victorville area and to this day they haven’t been able to figure out why it happened. The renter had called the gas company days or weeks before the explosion and they stated it wasn’t from gas. The woman inside the home barely survived.
I love that she called it a hot water heater because why would you want to heat hot water
Does not look like the house gas explosion I have seen. A basement full on gas would light off the the furnace is turned up first thing in the morning. like-wise the first use of hot water would activate the water heater. This blew much later in the day.
Looks like a 1000lbs bomb or so
@@RichardBaranThat's kinda what I was thinking. A video 4 days ago specifically said gas was NOT the cause. What made them so certain it wasn't gas, and why did they change their mind?
they do not want to say meth lab out loud. I saw a post about a woman and her cat leaving the house about six hours before the explosion. That is unconfirmed. Or another lost report!
@@oldpopdavid6984 What does a woman leaving the house have to do with anything?
It happened around 10am
What would really suck is if the gas heater were defective and/or some gas pipe was leaking, considering they are right by an abandoned mine and natural gas reserve. Perhaps there were pipes that were leaking for a great time that got built up in the mine below and they turned on the gas from their oven, which sparked that enormous explosion. That was not your every day explosion; it was gargantuan. May all the victims who died be in a better place.
So many variables. I used to do gas plumbing work. The amount of times I’ve seen messy garages that was a fire hazard is crazy. Something simple like a heavy random object falling on a pipe loosening or breaking it up is very possible. Maybe kids were standing on the pipes like its a step ladder to reach something. Im very curious to see what the report says.
Literally a natural gas well 300ft away
Or someone just accidentally left the gas running on the stove
That's what I said, Obviously leaking gas was involved. That was far too large of an explosion to be anything but that, unless it was a hit.
i wonder if its 2 things combined in the same way a bomb would be. So something could detonate on a smaller scale which sets off a larger more powerful explosion. For example certain gas's need a certain air mix before it can ignite from a simple spark but without enough of a primer explosion in energy can compress the gas and set off a secondary explosion. If that happens to be in a place where the energy is trapped, say a basement. Then if the energy is sufficient something has to give. Enough pressure and the first floor would crack open like an egg releasing that energy. Ofc it could just be an explosion of gas tbh but it seems by its scale theres more variables at play here. i dont feel gas leaking through out the home would cause this, this feels like a massive build up in an area.
Somebody trying to save their ass paint thinner really is dude manufacturing it? And that seems like a lot of gas to not have smelled it.
Sorry there’s no way this was gas, methane or something naturally occurring. This should be treated as a homicide investigation.someone blew that house up. The question is why. I’ve built homes for 21 years. There’s nothing that will cause that size explosion inside a house.
This has happened way too often in this country. I want to know what the family did for a living and what if any government agency they were affiliated with. This has all the makings of a bomb being detonated. The explosion was absolutely horrific. The size of the explosion tells the tail
That is very good to hear. I’m going to ask my dad too. He has built homes for 50 years.
I agree. That was no hot water heater blowing up.

this is a classic meth lab explosion lmfao the only reason is that this is a huge story is because it took place in a nice suburban neighborhood
That expert didn't seem to say much.
I would lock up and leave the area.
Extremely heart breaking. I pray they have found peace. Something is being covered up or someone is trying their hardest to save their ass because none of this makes sence. Sad we take info from people with degrees and not feom people that have experience catastrophic. Man in so hurt for the victims i will pray and fast for those sweet angels.
It makes perfect sense. What would you expect if you have a BASEMENT completely full of a Natural Gas/ air mix comprising 20 or 30,000 cubic feet❗ of such a mixture which is then ignited by some source perhaps turning a light switch on with the tiny spark in the switch causing the explosion to begin. And because the explosion is in the basement all of the force goes more or less straight up because of the walls in the basement directing the blast up. This is precisely what happens when a Powder Magazine had an Arsenal explodes. It has walls of either cement or dirt or both with the top that is designed to blow away so that the force goes up. Exactly analogous situation. I wish people who who don't really know about such things would quit seeing conspiracy theories everywhere around them. Let's face it, things happen that you don't understand; you're not expected to know EVERYTHING because you may not have any experience in this sort of thing. First thing I saw when I saw that blast and the shape of it, was "something exploded in the basement" this was before I even even read anything about there being a hot water heater in the basement. After I read that there was a heater in the basement I watched the blast in slow motion a couple times and it all makes complete sense. Even the manner in which the unburned Natural Gas in the mushroom cloud Burns itself away before it gets very far above the house. It does that because it may not have been mixed perfectly with oxygen in the basement when it exploded leaving unburned natural gas to be hurled into the air with the hot air from the blast. Once that swirling mushroom cloud of unburned gas meets the oxygen in the atmosphere as it's rising, it continues to burn until it's consumed. Again, this is exactly what I witnessed. And I pretty much came to the same conclusion as the fire investigator already has. All they are looking for now is the exact cause of the leak and where the leak came from. Things like this happen all the time all over the world. Natural gas is inherently dangerous because it's explosive but we're not going to stop using it for the purpose of heating and heating water simply because accidents happen. It's tragic when six people lose their lives but a lot more lives are lost in car accidents but nobody wants to give up their cars, me least of all.
When the steel industry was in full tilt, there were a whole lot of mines in Western Pa. devoted to harvesting iron ore, as well as coal for coke for the steelmaking process... Coal, like petroleum is a fossil fuel, comprised of layers of compacted, decomposing animals and plants, and like all fossil fuels can generate explosive gas comprised of sulfur, methane, nitrogen, etc... That defective water heater could've set off something highly flammable slowly seeping into the basement over time from an old mine or gas pocket further below... Since most of those gasses are heavier than air they - just like natural gas, will stay low, close to the bottom... All it takes is an ignition source... Even a modern water heater with a sealed burner system can be defective, go critical, and then - _BOOM!_
What a scary place to live
My guess is fracking in the area led to a HUGE buildup of methane under the house. They were doing some work in the basement, opened a pocket of ventilation somehow and all that methane made contact with the pilot light of the water heater. If you watch the RING doorbell footage that would make the most sense. Any leak inside the house would have been detected by smell days/weeks ago, and would have escaped out of windows or the doors anytime they opened them to alleviate the pressure.
If this became true, then it makes me wonder how the neighboring homes will be affected by this. Imagine thinking you are literally living on top of a time bomb.
I agree, fracking is the most likely the cause. I feel like we should have all learned from the 2010 documentary “Gas Wars”. Honestly, if these houses were built too close to any natural gas work or mines, they need to get these people moved out of that neighborhood.
I have the unique ability to smell leaking gas even if it’s outside. I have smelled it three times now in three places including my house outside.

Every house in that development is now worthless. Imagine trying to sell a house after seeing this video
These house explosions are more common than you might believe. They have a common cause. In almost all cases they will find a damaged gas line between the gas mainline and the house. Gas slowly accumulates at a low spot in the basement, for example a sump. Gas settles. Eventually a spark of any type, furnace or water heater kick on, a circuit breaker blows, and the gas explodes.
I have seen this happen. In Westchester Md such an event destroyed more than 20 houses. One in Northern Virginia cost a family its life on the day they moved in and turned on the new water heater.
These incidents almost always trace back to crews from other companies ignoring "miss utility" rules, damaging gas lines and burying the mistake. After a few winters the damaged pipe statts leaking and the explosion becomes inevitable.
That's scary
Have you noticed how many conspiracy theorists comment on things like this.? Does everything have to be some big conspiracy. I'm a chemist by training and have worked with flammable gases throughout my career both as a chemist and as a scientific glassblower. As soon as I saw the shape of the explosion flame my first thought was something in the basement exploded. Without even knowing there was a basement. So then I read and by George, a hot water heater in the basement. And of course if it's in the basement and they don't necessarily go down there very often the smell will largely be confined to the basement at least for a relatively short period of time. So the basement fills up which would be a few tens of thousands of cubic feet of gas air mixture which finds an ignition Source eventually perhaps even when somebody turned a light switch on, and boom you have a blast that is directed almost straight up shaped by the walls of the basement to go straight up and 'tamped' by the great weight of the house above it. The video of the blast looks exactly as I would imagine it would given that scenario. Other people look at it and immediately they go to "got to be something more there than they're talking about". No folks, sometimes things are exactly as expected problem is if you don't have a trained eye then you just make shit up. You apparently have enough education or job experience to understand this yourself.
Nothing happens next. This has happened before in Bergen County NJ and The Village in NYC.
Oh my GOD. I cannot believe my eyes. This is an incredible tragedy.
I feel bad for those looking to move out of that neighborhood. As if anyone is going to buy a home on that property and the seller is left having to start new or sell the home back to the real estate company for only a meager price
At least 11 homes other then the exploded one were condemned, so they weee forced to move out.
I'd buy a house there. If the tradeoff for actually being able to own property one day is the slight chance of exploding, welp, that's the best we're going to get, I guess. Mass ain't doin us any favors.
This could've been our thing too. When we were living in Canyon Country. I had no idea about the functions of a water heater
Yep hot water heater, will do it every time... shhhh they are covering something up
See son, if the match flickers, we found the leak. 🔥
This reminds me back in March in Pennsylvania, the chocolate company that exploded. Employees were saying that they were smelling gas but nobody took it seriously, the cause what they said it was a bad gas fitting.
Wait. This expert isn't the actual person who did the investigation but you're going to just provide panic news to the viewers?
"Walk us through the steps ... " sounds like some Olympic event.
holy shit !!! wtf ??? every resident in the area should sue for emotional distress and move the f out the neighborhood.
Home gas has a very noticeable smell to it for good reason. And if it was residentially dangerous would insurance companies provide coverage. In California they regularly pull a home owners insurance for the slightest risk provocation but not for having a gas water heater, stove, furnace, fireplace or BBQ..
Is it just me or does it seem like there has been an increase in the number of these gas explosions over the last decade or so?
Cheaper build quality
Aging infrastructure

Good reason not to have a natural/propane gas water heater!
More people are killed each year by electrical appliance fires than gas.
Also its why people should walk everywhere because cars are dangerous
Lol you.believe the water heater lie ? Hahaha
Electrical ones have caused house fires as well. Your best bet is the small 16oz propane canisters to heat your house and make shift shower system. If one of those babies explode you will live, maybe lose your hearing in one ear or a finger, but you will live.
@@tricatfilms6136 this twasn't no water heater "issue". this was some insane buildup of gas from a leak under or around the house in the ground. the gas company's basically shitting themselves. oh their gettin sued alright.
That is a big ass hole that explosion left. That's a massive leak
Thanks for the expert for not just saying "gas leak"...🤨
I know, right, and the news anchor immediately started talking about the ammunition that was cooking off because of the heat from the fire. there was an anti 2 ND ammendment bias there. The media I swear. Turn a natural gas explosion into a international event lol clowns all around.
Nothing beats a gas cooking range and a gas hot water. Is there a danger, sure just like the danger crossing the street and getting hit by a bus, or flying in a plane or driving on the highway. We need to tamper down this nanny state over regulation when a disaster like this occurs. Sometimes accidents just happen...acts of God.
just leave it in gods hands huh?
"nanny state" = letting 5 people incinerate in their own homes bc the gas company or city officials are negligent.
do you work for the gas company? you probably said the same thing about cigarettes.
Actually cooking on electric does the same thing ! Literally the same

Water heater, I doubt it. Watch out for contractors when they dig to install fiber optics cable for internet etc. Nicking a gas lines leads to tragedies like these. It can happen long after the damage had been done making investigations extremely complicated.
I don’t know what happened here exactly, but I assure you there were warning signs, someone spoke up, and they were ignored because “why worry about something that isn’t going to happen”? Someone is quitting their job over it.
You should have stopped at your first sentence, because it’s the only accurate thing you wrote. One of the people who died literally worked for peoples gas. If he sensed danger do you think he and his son would have been inside the house? Please stop.
@@johnd9357 I didn’t say that multiple people knew there was a serious problem. But there’s always at least one person who knew beforehand. Something this big? Somebody knew.

Why didn’t they smell it?
How can you even know if it was a leak aftet such a massive blast
Good question....almost as if they have a story ready...

People will have a hard time selling their houses. Wow
Yes people be scared in your own home , ironically watching this on the world's best library where education on safe system maintenance and operations would be a better thing to suggest,imo
No way that was paint thinner or water heater
Prayers for all
Just wonder... How does that help anything?
@RichardBaran what's the deal? You post on everyone's religious comment? Os this really the time or place? If having a God gives people a sense of peace or security why not let them have it. Offering prayers is someone's way of offering condolences. They believe and it brings them comfort hoping it will bring others comfort. And that in this kind of situation DOES do something.
@@RichardBaranWhat's your problem?
There's that big fireball. It looks like whatever it was, ignited all at once. If the family didn't smell gas, it may have been accumulating in the basement until it all blew-up at once.
Gas is unsafe my house would be on electric I’ll buy the high bill over my house blowing up.
Don't use gas water heaters. And don't keep grenades in your nightstand.
L comment
Well, that is the reason I will never have a gas water heater.
An explosion of that magnitude can't just be from your garden variety gas leak. The 5 occupants inside the house would have smelled the intensity of the natural gas. I'm no expert, but this does seem like the failure is from the main gas line underground to cause an explosion of that magnitude, which should have been easily ascertained by now.
Was there a kia in the garage?
Marked safe from windmill cancer.
Nuclear powered hot water heater
Who was the owner of that house
It’s a water heater NOT a hot water heater.
Some wants the land!!😲😲
I know what caused it, lazy workers who didn’t do their job. When peddles enter a gas line and are not flushed properly you get a huge explosion. Blame the contractor.
Like I stated in another posting, by a motorhome for your family with your home equity $$ now and move out of your house. Get out of the nightmare neighborhood. Like POLTERGEIST, get out of the house and away from the area. It only takes ONCE!!
