While I love the outlook for natural gas, this photo makes me respect the downside. Click on it and look carefully at the details. Fire and flying debris expanding at a hellish level.

We are renovating an old factory into loft apartments and hit an old gas line that the utility company thought was abandoned, but wasn’t. We were fortunate that nothing bad happened…especially when a photo like this shows what bad looks like.

I suppose I should say that the investigators for the photo above haven’t yet confirmed gas as the cause of the explosion. Though they did rule out a meth lab explosion. Yeah, I think this is a different scale. For this magnitude, you need a fuel source that keeps on giving.

Thanks to Kneal for the photo link, you surely know your destruction.
