Bad news.

read somewhere it's THREE houses gone

[tshirtman]

I used to live round the back of this street and know a few people who live there,
a lot of them are private rentals or housing association houses,
for the poor little mite that died, I hope someone is held responsible and put before the courts.

The Landlord was on the radio explaining how he'd had the house renovated to bring it to a decent standard, including a new boiler fitted 6 weeks ago by a Corgi installer. Sounds wel dodgy as Corgi has been phased out and replaced by Gas Safe.

I hope all suspicion will be unfolded.

The death of a 2 year old child (rest his soul) and man with 80% burns is tragic enough in itself, our thoughts with the parents.

Boy's Family Pays Tribute After Blast Death

so sad that this case has now turned into a murder enquiry.
it was bad enough this child died,but to find out it could be at the hands of someone else,
is shocking,

the police have named the man with 80% burns,as the person they wish to talk to.

They've now arrested a builder/plumber in London, charged with manslaughter.

*CONFUSED*

Right it says something about

"The mom missed out by popping out to hang washing out"

So in therory, she was inside the premises, just before boom shake the room.

SO, to make a bang like that, surly it would need enough gas to fill the Hidenburg - which would smell REAL BAD

Gas is heaver than air, so would sink to the lower floors if gas leak from above.

ALSO

Few years ago the BBC had 5 houses or so that were due to be demolished, and they did some amething things wth them, fire flood, the last one was a gas explosion, they had two cyclinders of natural gas, filled the hose/kitchen and bang, quite cool, just caught the drapes and MOVED an entire wall 2 inches, but aprt from that no damage.

this was THREE houses.

How did it happen.

bomb.. oldham.. full of em

bomb.. oldham.. full of em

that was the other option.

But how can an ADULT in an upstairs? room survive something which takes out 3 houses!
