Security footage captured the moment a massive house explosion killed three people and damaged at least 39 homes in the southern Indiana city of Evansville.
The blast was reported around 1 p.m. on Wednesday and had a 100-foot radius, Evansville Fire Department Chief Mike Connelly said. Police have shut down North Weinbach Avenue, where the explosion occurred, along with neighboring streets that could be seen strewn with debris.
A total of 39 houses were damaged by the explosion, but Connelly said the department has not confirmed how many of the houses were occupied when the explosion happened because 'some were too unstable to enter.'
'Debris is strewn over a 100-foot radius,' including 'typical construction materials' such as wooden boards, window glass and insulation, Connelly said.
Authorities are continuing their search of area, but Connelly warned there could be more victims.
The identities of the people who died would not be released until the next of kin has been notified, Dave Anson, chief deputy coroner for Vanderburgh County, told The Associated Press.
The cause of the explosion has not been determined, but the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are investigating.

I don’t think that’s enough energy.
This looks more like the Indianapolis insurance fraud deal where they filled the entire house with nat gas.
fossil fuels?
fossil fuels?
Looks more like a natural gas explosion
Looks like
Nah. Meth labs ecplode but not like that. It’s a natural gas explosion
Some gas leak explosions have been that big in the past.
“EVs suck. Boutique vehicles for stupid virtue signaling idiots.”
How do EV’s suck?
Why do you call fellow creepers stupid idiots?
You can’t roll coal in an EV nor can you straight-pipe them.
So that eliminates them from consideration for a certain segment of society.
>Ublock still works on that site
Indeed.
Hi.
Met lab, gas leak or a jihadi workman’s comp accident?

ATF doesn’t investigate gas leaks. I find it curious that they were there almost immediately, so gas leak has been ruled out or the occupants of this address are on a watch list
The gas company has to shut off the mains when a leak causes an explosion and they make announcements to that effect. Their pressure monitoring systems make gas caused explosions easily and quickly identified, plus everyone can smell the gas that will continue leaking till it’s shut off.
Although the initial flash for the Evansville explosion is whiter.
I see no reason why that can’t buff right out.
In the Indianapolis explosion it was an “intentional” leak where they filled the house with gas via an open pipe and used a microwave oven on delayed timer to ignite it.
A Chevy Volt for sure. There’s a burned out one on the side of the road as I drive home from work.
No, really either meth or natural gas.
Ok if you say so. I’ve never been to Evansville Indiana and I don’t plan to. But I have heard a lot of people saying these electric cars are unsafe to be kept in garages because the batteries can spontaneously explode and start your house on fire.
Your insurance company will cancel you if you keep your EV in the garage.
