    “slow and long process” that would include a lot of forensic testing and could last “months if not years.”

    I mean. This line strikes me as a bit odd. It seems like natural gas explosions are common enough to be self-evident, which means it shouldn’t take years to do an investigation. Also, the size of the fireball, that really seems like a natural gas explosion. And if its not a natural gas explosion, what then? For example, this explosion in Pendleton was the result of home made fireworks.

      Meth lab? My brother is a firefighter (not in PA) and has encountered a fair few of those throughout the years.

        yeah it’s gotta be amateur chemistry of some kind, might as well start with that… a large volume of some kind of flammable gas was being produced in the basement…
