[News] Massachusetts is destroying itself

[Juan Albion]

Weird developing story. Reports say 20-25 houses are on fire following a series of gas explosions.

"So many fires they can't see the sky..."

This map shows the extent of the problem. Each blue symbol is a fire or an explosion.

In Boston tomorrow; we'll hear all about it no doubt.

Now 39 buildings burning. Wowser. If you have shares in the local gas company, you're doomed.

Apparently now 39 explosions confirmed and up to 200 homes on fire.

I'll take your picture and raise with this one. It's still getting worse.

What's going on?

What's going on?

Apparently a problem with Columbia Gas, maybe high pressure in the gas line or something (I'm no expert but that is what is being suggested).

Really crazy to think something like this could even happen, hope there aren't too many people hurt.

Ever since Babe Ruth Boston is known for highly pungent and explosive gas emissions.

That's been updated. Everyone in South Lawrence has been asked to evacuate, whoever their gas company is. This is going to be a mess for a long time - and just imagine if it had happened in the depths of winter.
