Family Grieves Father and Son Killed in Massive House Explosion

Heart-stopping video captured a massive house explosion in Plum, Pennsylvania. The blast killed five people and destroyed three homes. Casey Clontz and his 12-year-old son were found dead in the wreckage of the house next door. In a statement, their grieving relatives say "Their smiles and laughter filled their family's and friends' hearts with joy that can never be replaced." Inside Edition's Steven Fabian has more. A GoFundMe page was created to help the families impacted by the explosion.

Going by the lack of colour in the blast smoke it really looks like a gas explosion. The level of destruction is akin to a large amount of high explosives.

By the size of it, I'm betting whoever was in the house was probably already incapacitated when it went off. Since natural gas has no natural smell, they may not have known there was a leak(if that's what it id of course) and fell victim to it before the explosion even occurred.

Ended the relationship I was in and focused on God and my family. Never know when it might be the last time you see em. Heart goes out to this family and neighborhood. Tragic

[@boundariessetinstone5893]

I did the same but a narcisisst wouldn’t let go causing me severe ptsd including my mother. He harassed us both so badly we went crazy and my mom and step dad ended up relapsing after 18 yrs of sobriety and dying. They couldn’t handle the stress anymore from his harassment. We all became so sick mentally and even physically he belongs in jail. I’m so angry he is getting away with murder basically. And it was all compounded by neighbors who moved in next door to us 4 1/2 yrs ago torturing us with loud music and their dogs barking 8 hrs a day. And on top of that my mom was disabled and I suffer a severe conditions drs won’t help me figure out leaving me to suffer. I have sat here everyday in a daze for 5 months unable to grasp the destruction and torture that fell upon me and my family for 8 yrs. 😢

My jaw is hanging in pure shock. From the moment I saw the explosion to seeing the aftermath, my jaw was open. My heart goes out to the mother and daughter who lost their father and husband and their son and brother. No amount of love, money, anything can make up for this tragedy. It’s incredibly saddening to know that this wasn’t just an accident but an accident that could’ve been entirely prevented from the very beginning. Rest in heavenly peace, and may your loved ones find closure.

[@dr.robertjohnson6953]

It has too much flame to have anything to do with normal explosives. But it does look like something to do with a gas explosion. Like HHO (hydrogen gas oxygen gas mixture) can be made very easily, and in enough quantity to do this. If it were an ammunition explosion, there would be very little flame to it. But any ammunition that is present in the flames, would certainly cook off.

[@Fetidaf]

This happened in a town I was living in a few years ago but it was a gas leak while the family went on vacation. I lived about half a mile away and my windows were broken and some siding was damaged and whatnot… amazingly no one was injured in that but even then it devastated the neighborhood… can’t even imagine something like this happening.

I feel bad for the family and friends of those lost. May the ones lost Rest in Paradise. This reminds me of a house explosion that happened about two miles from my home in the winter. A gas leak caused the early January explosion that totally destroyed the home, and the home next door was severely damage plus pushed off its foundation. The family who was sleeping in their beds at the time of the explosion, miraculously survived. They were tossed here and there and suffered severe injuries but recovered fully. I was able to hear the explosion from inside my house. It rattled the windows and my wife thought that it was one of our cats may have knocked something over. I said to her, "No it wasn't the cats, that was an explosion." as I looked out the windows to see if any of my neighbors' houses were suddenly missing. The family survived but never rebuilt the home.
