[The Magical Mischief Tour]

FOX News Alert just moments ago. Whole place was in flames!

[vin-one]

well if it is terrorists, maybe they set it off early and
took themselves out by mistake,
speculation on meth or crank lab, what kind of neighborhood is this
?????

[Wyatt's Torch]

Wonder if this is what the call in Israel, a "work accident"...

[kezekiel]

Didn't San Fernando Valley just vote to remove themselves from Los Angeles? Interesting.

Actually, it's on the ballot for November.

How about the guy cracking jokes about the President? This is in reality probably just a natural gas leak -> explosion that the news is blowing out of proportion. People die everyday. The best we can do is hope the innocent don't feel pain.

[Hacksaw]

President Bush obviously knew about this and did not warn the residents.

[Skel]

Crank lab.
You'd think...but I doubt it in that part of Encino. Who knows?

[kcvl]

According to Fox News whatever exploded went straight up through the roof and leveled the entire building. What would do that? Natural gas would do that much damage? Or meth lab probably could?

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

"We're everywhere" - aint it the truth!

[Joe Hadenuf]

Bet it was natural gas. Can clearly see shots of debris on rooftops approximately 100 feet away from the explosion site.

How do you know this isn't a terrorist act???

You seem to be the expert ....can you say for sure what happened here ???

Now we will hold you to what you say ....

What was this....???

[johniegrad]

You already said what you said. There is no reason to defend yourself. You offended someone. Just shut up and let it go. This thread is not about you. Geesh.

[Mixer]

Why would you bomb an apartment complex at 1130 AM on a weekday if you wanted to inflict a large number of casualties?

Just to instill fear into the hearts of America would be my best guess. You can't begin to tell me that 4 days ago the FBI warns of this exact thing and yet you still don't believe terroists to be involved?

[Mo1]

There was an explosion and fire in a post office/apartment building near Philadelphia this morning! Two deaths I believe........

Geez .. I didn't hear this .. I need to watch the local news more

[Poohbah]

Somebody cooking meth, maybe?

[Dog]

It could be Joe.....but we are not sure.

I just don't like people getting dissed ....just voicing their opinion..

[vin-one]

CNN has on the ground picutres right now, right behind the firefighters,

[stillonaroll]

FoxNews.com has a "breaking news" banner, but no details.

CNN.com has no mention of this.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Natural gas is mean. I have seen it level a two story house, where the largest piece of debris is a foot or two long. It degree of explosion depends on how airtight the structure was before ignition.

Fox newguy said Hollywierd types live there.
