Dallas Apartment Explosion Leaves 10 Injured, 20 Missing After Gas Line ‘Negligence’ – Where’s the Common Sense?
I’m sitting here in my living room, three blocks away, and I *felt* that blast rattle my windows. Another ‘freak accident’ in a city that keeps letting developers cut corners! I saw the news that 10 people are hurt and 20 are still unaccounted for from that Dallas apartment explosion off Walnut Hill Lane. My neighbor’s nephew was moving in tomorrow. This isn’t bad luck—this is common sense. You don’t need a code book to know a gas line snaking through a complex under renovation is a ticking bomb. Whoever signed off on that work should be held personally liable. My heart breaks for the families, but my blood boils for the sheer stupidity. Where were the inspectors? Where was the oversight? Or are we just supposed to pray the next explosion doesn’t hit our block? This city needs to wake up before common sense becomes a eulogy.
