    Remember the good old days? Long before Meth Labs, bomb making etc., Back when life was simple and if a house blew up it was just the neighbor kids science project gone bad?
    No one can be wrong that often so it has to be deliberate.

    ALL the comments about drug cooking --- there was an HVAC guy there according to the articles I read.
    I can tell you this.
    I am not sure what change they have made to gas valves. Our service guy told me but I was not fully paying attention. Our old water heater was 20 years old when we replaced it - never needed a thing. The only reason we replaced it was because the new ones were supposedly so much more efficient. The new ones - we have replaced it once, and the second one has been repaired 4 times. All four times was a gas valve issue....which makes me wonder about the recent explosions, which seem more common to me than they ever were before.
