The two victims were identified by neighbors as John Paladino, 73, and Carole Paladino, 72
A husband and wife died in an early morning explosion that obliterated a house, blasting debris as far as six houses away and rattling an entire South Jersey town, officials said.
The two victims were identified by neighbors as John Paladino, 73, and Carole Paladino, 72. No foul play is suspected, the prosecutor's office said in a statement.
The blast that destroyed the home on the 300 block Oakwood Drive in Newfield, New Jersey was initially reported about 6:45 a.m. Saturday and could be felt throughout the town, neighbors said. The force of the explosion broke windows in nearby homes.
"I really thought it was an earthquake," Marlane Rambone said. "The bed lifted up and shifted."
Wood, insulation and siding fell from the sky as the entire area was filled with smoke following the blast and a mattress was stuck in a tree.
Firefighters responded to the home and doused the flames. Dogs were brought out to search through the rubble. Debris was strewn across the property.
"There's nothing left," Jason Brandt, a witness said. "I saw a bathroom sink sitting there but the house is gone."
Neighbors say John and Carole Paladino lived in the home for decades and raised their children there as well. They were friends with everyone on the street.
"It's scary," Audra Manasco, a neighbor, said. "It's a tragedy that you know, it's a small, quiet town. Nothing like this ever happens."
John Paladino was on the Newfield School Board and worked at a funeral home. Carole Paladino was a retired school nurse.
Neighbors say the couple had an appliance installed in their home Friday but investigators are not saying if that played a role in the blast. They don't suspect anything criminal at this point though they continue to investigate.
Gas is currently shut off in the neighborhood and several residents were not allowed in their homes as inspectors continue to make sure the area is safe.
Arkancided.
Ping
aka “Fosterized”
Horse Hockey! Mrs. Paladino was involved with the Clintons and was about to testify against the Clinton Foundation. Clearly a case of Arkanacide.
There’s a lot of that going around these days....................
They were holding dynamite for the mob for the last 40 years and then one day the guy goes down stairs for a cigarette and....
Last words - “I said a ‘Bud Light’”
Old TNT is really unstable..................
It’s Jersey....................
“Ingling said he has known Carole Paladino for around 50 years, as they were in the same class at Vineland High School. He said she went on to become a nurse and then ended up a school nurse in Millville Public Schools, where he also worked until retirement.”
I can’t wait for the DoJ, the FBI, and the ATF to open full investigations of this obviously domestic terrorist bombing.
It is easy to make a natural gas explosion to look like an accident.
The other day on Pinterest I saw a picture of a lady trying to encourage runners by holding up a sign telling them to run like they had evidence on the Clintons and the Clintons knew it.
Don’t hold your breath...................
Bttt
“Horse Hockey! Mrs. Paladino was involved with the Clintons and was about to testify against the Clinton Foundation. Clearly a case of Arkanacide.”
And it is clear that this bombing will be investigated by the federal authorities.
Whoever it was went for overkill...................
Yes, Arkancide and the authorities are not suspicious. How filthy and criminal do you have to be before you pay.
