The following news brief is a quote:

Syracuse, NY -- Syracuse fire investigators have not yet determined the cause of an explosion Thursday at the Ihsan School of Excellence, a private Islamic school on West Onondaga Street.

More meetings with investigators are planned before a determination is made, Lt. Joe Galloway, a Syracuse fire investigator, said today.

A cause for the explosion in the school's basement will possibly be released on Monday, Galloway said.

I donated to the Freepathon.

Even in these tough times, FR is *still* a bargain.

Please consider a donation.

Yes, it's off-topic. But if FR weren't here, there wouldn't *be* a thread to be off-topic about :-)

Cheers!

I hope it was just a gas leak.

That's what it looks like he's been doing for the past 5 years now. It's only a matter of time, and time is short.

10 bucks says the press release claims it was an Innocent accident. You just can't make this stuff up.

I would call all these near misses akin to an increase in chatter, something is about to happen. I'm prepared, are you?

...so many jokes can be made here....

I was thinking the same things. My vote goes for “improper storage of combustible materials.”

As to the increase in ‘near misses,’ consider the increase in talk of either the US or Israel bombing Iran. Our jihadis have already promised an intifada here if that happens. Mosques the world over are used for weapons stockpiling and as FOBs.

My first thoughts are on the line of “it involves peroxide” and the mother of Satan, a familiar muslim explosive used in suicide bombings.

[BigFinn]

Reminds me of the joke...

Two muslim women were talking about their kids. One said to the other..."They blow up so fast."

explosion Thursday at the Ihsan School of Excellence

OK, class, let's review the homework.

it's October, start of the heating season. Dummies probably did not have their furnace inspected or cleaned and so it blew up. OTOH if the blast occurred in an unused part of the basement, the fact that it is unused means that no one checked pipes there for corrosion or whatever.

I hope they enjoyed experiencing being "blown up" just like they enjoy blowing up We The People and their properties.
