I immediately thought of Russia when they said it was a Ukrainian church, too. I remember Putin said something about the Ukraine when he spoke after the Beslan atrocity.

State Police spokesman has stated there is no gas service to this area. There was a 50 gallon propane tank in the building, but State Police not sure if that was the source of the explosion. Would a 50 gallon tank destroy a building like this?

If you can crack an LP container, you can create a very healthy combustion rate.

I remember reports of a multi-story LP tank on the beach east of Kuwait City during recon for a possible marine landing in the ground phase of Operation Desert Storm.

The phrase used was "the nuke on the beach".

Does anyone know how far back the police are keeping everyone? Can you deduce by the distance if they fear other explosions?

The linked article says Ukrainian Catholic and, hey, we know our media outlets never get the details wrong.

Yeah that is what I thought...I lived in Connecticut..went to High School there and lived there until 1990-I don't know anyone who had natural gas...mostly oil and/or propane.

I can not believe a propane tank-probably used for cooking. Mostly heating oil is used for heat...could cause this type of damage. Not to mention such tanks are usually outside buildings-not in the buildings- often buried in Connectiuct.Also, Propane has a definite smell-can't mistake it for any other type of gas-very suspicious.

Latest news report says nothing to indicate wrongdoing. Remains of propane tank in the ruins but authorities cannot state that propane was the cause of the explosion. This happened four hours ago. It takes four hours to determine the cause? Must be.

I don't suppose they would admit it if it was foul play..sigh...I sure hope it was not terrorist related. But, a bomb would blow up a propane tank too.

If it was "TROP", they thought the big day was Friday. Thank God there was no one in the church.
