Could still be klintoon’s office. You can take the boy out of Arkansas, but you can’t take the Arkansas out of the boy.

We’ve seen what a steam line explosion can do to a street in New York City. Imagine a steam line explosion inside a building—and it explodes at the right spot to cause the most damage.

It was the “Spanish Christian Church”.

I think this is more likely a gas leak explosion.

There was one of these in my general area two weeks ago. Contractors ruptured a gas line and a huge explosion and fire resulted. Amazingly, only one death. 10 houses destroyed and many more damaged. No effort was made to evacuate the area, all they did was call the utility to come fix their pipe.

I this is the famous “Spanish Harlem” that was made famous by that song with the same title many years ago.

Increases the possibility of terrorism, maybe from Maduro.

You would think on the street there would be spray painted explaining what type of ultilites you must be careful for. Not practicing “call before you dig.”

Could also be someone building a bomb I guess. One of those workplace accidents where it detonates ahead of its time.


Actuaally that was my first thought due to the location.
