It sounds like he was very lucky. Prayers for his recovery.

Yeah. I’ll bet his family is putting together a stand up routine as we speak.

Geez, wake up in the morning, go into the bathroom to take care of business, snap on the light and KABOOM!!!
How do you go from the bathroom to out the front door?

Not to mention the blow job early in the morning. That’s one he won’t forget. What’s that smell? Let’s turn on the light ... WRONG! Don’t toucha the electric switches or plugs when you smell gas.
Would be Darwin award winner.

RE: How do you go from the bathroom to out the front door?
I think the more important question for all of us is this — HOW DO YOU PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING?
This is the second case of a gas leak causing an explosion in NJ in a week.

Natural gas explosions can be prevented by periodic home inspections with gas leak detectors. The latest models are real whizzbangs with digital readout supersensors.
Age of the house & condition of its gas lines and wiring are key preventive factors, too.

he woke up to the smell of GAS ... so he turned on a light??
did we forget why gas has an odor?? (it’s naturally odorless, if you didn’t know)

Here's how you go to the bathroom and get blown out the front door. I'm impressed he wired it up. Not often you find lights in the necessary.

IIRC, commercial natural gas is infused with a garlic additive.

Yes there’s a nat gas terminal that I drive past where they do this. The odor 500 ft away is pretty overwhelming, depending on the wind direction.
The guys that work there must be pretty tough to handle that all day.

A lot of bungalows have the same floor plan where the bathroom is under the stair well and the kitchen is in the back. If the gas leak was in the kitchen and he was in the hall opening the bathroom door then the front door would be in the direct funnel flow of the blast down the hall.
At least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
