    “slow and long process” that would include a lot of forensic testing and could last “months if not years.”

    I mean. This line strikes me as a bit odd. It seems like natural gas explosions are common enough to be self-evident, which means it shouldn’t take years to do an investigation. Also, the size of the fireball, that really seems like a natural gas explosion. And if its not a natural gas explosion, what then? For example, this explosion in Pendleton was the result of home made fireworks.

        yeah it’s gotta be amateur chemistry of some kind, might as well start with that… a large volume of some kind of flammable gas was being produced in the basement…
