Let me tell you a story.
It is a true story and happened years ago before I had a computer,,
I have clear memory of the event,, but no records to point to or links to post.
When I was just out of prison I bought a small Mobile Home, I had to have a residence to be released from the Halfway house.
It was not fancy,, an older trailer, but it had been well cared for and was in good shape. 10'x45' as I remember with beautiful dark wood veneer interior.
I was working one nite, for a Commercial Cleaning Company, and got a call that my home was on fire,, I locked the place up and rushed across town to my home.
Firefighters were there, the fire was out but the place was destroyed,, kitchen and living room burned and heat and smoke damage to the rest. I went in to see what could be salvaged and to talk to the firefighters. I was curious as to the cause.
I was informed that the cause of the fire was a Sewer Gas explosion. This puzzled me greatly.
I had been a firefighter and had walked into a few fires.
And a cursory look at my kitchen I noticed a couple cans of Charcoal Lighter fluid, and could smell the distinct odor in the air.
There was also the burned remains of some sort of blanket(sleeping Bag) in the sink.
I pointed this out to one of the firemen.
He told me that the Chief (and Fire investigator) was wanting to write a paper on the subject of sewer gasses and the explosive hazard.
He also told me to not worry about it,, the insurance would pay off. And it did.
The official Investigation showed that sewer gasses (the result of Chemicals used in the drains) had built up in the sink and were ignighted by the pilot lights on the stove.
In reality,, my roommate,, a dumb ass that I was trying to help, Had tried to "dry clean" his sleeping bag in the sink. and then put some hotdogs on the stove..
And blew up the kitchen,, and then ran.. Neighbors had called the Fire Dept.
I am since,, quite skeptical of Reports of Official Investigations.
Very often is is some preconceived idea and any facts that don't fit are ignored.. or covered up.
I am even more skeptical of MSM that rely exclusively on these "investigations".
There have been several such stories argued about here.. with folks citing the Official Story and MSM reports as if they were actually facts.
Something to think on when filtering the "news".
