I lived in that area all my life. What perplexes me is, unless they had the house converted to propane, the area is all electrical. What was a 500 pound propane tank doing there?
Who lived at 347 Silver Ridge Drive? And how TF do they know for sure and how are they allowed to say that the cause was a gas leak? A formal investigation takes days, if not weeks or months?
Scary stuff. We all take our daily infrastructure for granted thinking it will not fail. Unfortunately it does on occasion. God bless all those involved.
Wow, there are like 100 emergency vehicles here right now at 11:53PM? Wow. This is horrible. What caused this? Intentional like that house explosion not long ago, and not far away in N. VA?
Kind of strange how we by law must have smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in our homes but no gas detectors, or better yet auto-detect gas shut-off devices to your main gas inlet.
@@jamesvanderbilt201 it just show my lack of understanding how fireplaces are built and how stable they are I guess. They seem so unstable at that sort of height
Explosions and catastrophic home fires seem to be all too common in Northern Virginia over the past few years -- Loudoun County especially. RIP to anyone who died and condolences to the family who lost their home and of course best wishes to those injured. But someone in Loudoun needs to start investigating the bigger picture -- why do things like this seem to happen so often in this day of modern appliances, technology and building permits and inspections?
I do not know this but some areas have a low pressure gas system and the meters do not have a regulator, and if the system gets over pressured you can have an explosion. 2) You had a handy man or homeowner working on their gas appliance and caused a leak. 3) Possible water heater exploded. My guess number 2
@@Moondoggy1941 This morning reports indicate there was an issue with a 500 gallon propane tank outside the home that firefighters were investigating. I noticed they had a pool so maybe it was a tank to heat the pool.
Not gonna lie I usually wouldn't say this but if there was anyone in that explosion they definitely didn't survive. There's a crater in the friggin ground. Whatever did that had to release an insane amount of force. Whatever house was once there got wiped off the map it's literally nothing left except scrap. A human body did not survive that. Smh very sad I HOPE no one was in there. I know I heard a fire fighter died. RIP to you sir.
I’m no expert but not sure if this was a gas explosion it would leave a crater. And you’re right no one would survive that. Stated prior to release that it was an underground 500gal propane tank, which would fit with it blowing outwards from UG.
What is that? Is there someone lying on that gurner alone, in the elements? Weird. Is that the deceased firefighter? Or is there no one on that bed? a helmet is on the floor. What am I seeing??? @21:46
What are you talking about? Mushroom cloud? Neighbors reported they smelled gas, the fire department was called to the house because of the smell of gas. Quit spreading misinformation. Not everything has to be a crazy conspiracy. Shame on you.
More than likely it was a faulty appliance, it only takes 5% natural gas mixed with oxygen to cause a major 💥.... I've seen these things happen before, what happened to house was full natural gas and somehow somebody caused a small spark that initiated explosion.... They'll eventually figure out what happened out what happened.... It's going to take months....
SUCH AMOUNT FIRST RESPONDERS VEHICLES I THOUGHT 20 BUT IT IS WELL OVER 30 SO SAD I FIRE FIGHTER PASSED AWAY AND I HOPE THE 9 FIRE FIGHTERS ARE NOT BADLY INJURED WITH THE 2 OTHER PEOPLE SPEEDY RECOVERY
it sounds like a cover up to me, relative to the miami mall incident bc the scene looks quite similar considering the blocks of police lined up from the birds eye view point. & there's another news channel who posted this story but the comments are blocked🤔. Another thing that stood out to me was the very bright blue-like fluorescent light glowing from the center of of the "explosion" And notice @ 8:58 - 9:14 how the smoke along with the light slowly denigrates simultaneously together, & i guess the person who's recording the footage noticed it as well, bc they start panning away from it. one of the neighbors interviewed said that he heard something falling from the sky and then the explosion followed with a heavy vibration. So wut "really" happened bc that doesn't look like a propane tank explosion🤔🧠💡
What a huge explosion 💥. This region has a few things in common. Repeating natural gas explosions over the years and coal mines. Just wondering if this is a recurring environmental hazard?
