a man with his hair on fire came running from the house after the blast and told him he'd been working on the home's furnace when "all of a sudden it popped and exploded."

People didn't die in the movie.

I used to use a lighter sometimes for checking gas leaks, if you know what you are doing it is OK, you don’t use it to look for collected gas, you use it to check well ventilated exposed joints.

I saw this happen once. I was in a dry cleaners with a huge plate glass window when there was a heavy pulse from a nearby explosion. I remember the window moving in and out almost an inch, vibrating like the string on a giant bass. When I went outside, there was bits of insulation fluttering down just like in the video, while the townhouse and all its contents were no more than a pile of disordered bricks. Oddly, I saw a lot of people moving in opposite directions, some feeing the area, while others were moving toward the site. At the same time, I saw a bunch of gas company workers with yellow helmets in a trench near the demolished house looking very sheepish.

The survivor was the HVAC guy that was examining a problem.

I guess he didn’t fix it.

“An investigation is underway.”

I’ll take a guess: the moron working on his own furnace had absolutely no idea what he was doing ...
