Wow. Sounds like we need to put on Armadillo helmets and retreat to a bunker asap... With no internet. I'll fill you in, since 3 of my buddies and i were less than 200 yards away in front of a campfire when it blew us out of our chairs.

1. There were no missiles... I served in the military as well. Missiles are f'cking loud... That is retarded... But people love controversy so wtf ever, lol. It was quiet in Greenwood that night and nice out.

2. No meteors, planes, aliens, projectiles, etc... Nothing came down from the sky and caused this..

3. It was the loudest f'cking thing i've ever heard in my life and my ears are still ringing. My nerves are still edgy, and it scared the shit out of all of us.

4. It rained the remnants of a housig edition down on us for the following 10 minutes.

5. The couple that died were good people. She was my brother-in-laws daughter's teacher. He lives even closer, on Todd.

I understand your need to find a more controversial answer as to why this happened. But it was serious shit guys. Real children screaming in streets amidst a fire so hot it was curling the hairs of our arms trying to help these people. Absolute chaos, 2 people died, and most of them are just hoping that the insurance companies don't find the usual loop hole not to cover their damages.

No one smelled gas... And i knew from the get go the amount of natural gas required to level a street and be heard all the way to Franklin would have been so significant, somebody would've smelled it. My brother in law and his wife could happily confirm however, they weren't running meth.. & even then, it would had to have been Meth f'cking central in order for it to turn Sherman into Die Hard.

If you want to find the answer, take a look at the backstory behind the owners of the actual house that exploded. Divorced couple, mother and daughter lived there with her "boyfriend".. There's a recipe for chaos right off the bat. (Or a springer episode.) The mother and daughter were in Ohio when it happened. The house was for sale until March. Illegal Aliens have been breaking into homes and stealing copper pipes because apparently copper is worth good money. Pretty f'cking lame, but hey...'merica..
The daughter called the husband a week prior and notified him of a furnace issue as well.

I wish you guys well in your endeavor to find a conspiracy here. Those of us who were directly affected by this however are going to get to the bottom of it. Every house on that block is within 10 feet of each other. We would more appreciate your prayers than your theories.
