I saw a member of the church interviewed who had said she stopped to tell a deli owner about the gas she smelled the night before and he had said he’d have it checked.
Perhaps she should have just called 911 or the gas company directly.
I don't like “gas” power, myself.I grew up with it. If the pilot light goes out...which it often did, I knew what to do. But then again, I also knew better than to smoke at a gas station, or defecate in a river.
I live in Florida, so I don't have to deal with it as much.
I wonder why the people in that neighborhood wouldn't have called the gas company emergency line immediately and repeatedly, upon scenting the odor of gas in the area?
Did they?
Or were they just that stupid... not to know that if you ever smell the gas, there is a potentially lethal leak?
It's one or the other.
They either called or they did not.
Records exist.
