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

[Mixer]

This will of course get blown off as a non terrorist attack!!!!!!!!!!

[FourPeas]

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

Exactly.

[Dimensio]

Can they be centered in terrorist-harboring countries, pleeeeeeease?

Oh, wait, that would mean that the US would get hit...

Anyway, don't look for causes. It's obviously terrorism. Run and panic in the streets. Lock yourselves in shelters. Hide under a blanket. Wrap tinfoil around your head.

[dennis1x]

well yes, since its not a terrorist attack

[DoughtyOne]

Yep. This happens all the time across the nation. It's more than likely a tragic accident.

local news abc7 is saying not a natural gas explosion!! We will see.

The apartment building is in Encino, which is in the San Fernando Valley.

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

Goldens are such great pets!

Nice you find humor in a building that just exploded where many people could have possibly burned to death. Swift move.

Fox News saying warnings were issued to apartment managers in the area near LAX airport recently.

Don't know it's an accident or foul play yet.

[Howlin]

We're everywhere, we're everywhere!

[nhoward14]

Most likely somebody was smoking in bed and then passed some really natural gas...

[Joe Hadenuf]

No, not yet, but I hope they do.

[Snowy]

Holy crap! Just YESTERDAY there was a note on my apt door (in Dallas) from management saying that the FBI has put out a warning that terrorists might try to rent apartments and then leave bombs in them and to look out for suspicious blah blah blah.... I hope this is just a case of an accident and not terrorism. It would be too creepy that within 24 hours of getting the note, a complex blows up...

Do you have a copy of the FBI memo? It might be interesting to read....

[Ban_All_Rats]

Why is it whenever something happens the news people and others always rule out Terrorists as a possiblity, even when no facts are know. Example the cyanide truck in mexico, dont know who did it or why but they do know it was not terrorists! Logic? Lets see we just had an alert about terrorists blowing up apartments and now everyone thinks natural gas, gasoline and meth lab. No one thinks um... Terrorists at all, not even a maybe.

[Joe Hadenuf]

You are an a$$....

[Dog]

We are just trying to get informed here....we don't need someone dissing people for making a comment....

[Henchster]

Damn, 50-some posts and nobody's hittin' the shower?

C'mon FReepers!

OK, here's a moose taking a shower!
