5er explosion--website link

I hope these people get well, real soon.

I am not claiming to have insider knowledge, I am not the fire marshall investigating cause, my opinion is just an honest guess....Sounds like a case of allowing gas to build up, providing a spark--BOOM.

  • I don't understand what your talks about, all the fridges I have ever had is turned on from inside with the igniter.

  • Holy Moly!!! Fire can be our friend, and in this case a foe!! Hope the couple recovers well, and that they have good insurance on the 5er.
  • Typical 'NEWS STORY' without any news/information being provided.

    Speculation is the only thing one can get with that article.


    Hopefully the man and woman recover quickly from their burns
