Investigation begins into cause of Youngstown building explosion that killed man

[@angiespringer6828]

My husband is a Youngstown fire fighter. He was there doing search and rescue. He was stationed at station 12. He was there rescuing people, he truly is a hero. He’s my hero. My heart goes out to the victims and their families. May god bless everyone

NTSB will be investigating because natural gas is "transported". Interesting how much falls under their purview. Evidently, they're in the business of assigning blame and liability more so than training on and implementation of preventative measures. Especially considering the ever increasing rate and severity of incidents involving natural gas. A fossil fuel that their director under this administration has a particular interest in reducing the usage of.

This is gonna get interesting 🤔

I'm in no way an expert, but watching the building explode, it's kinda weird there was no fire. ?

I was in the building during the 1:00 clock hr no 🔥 I hope this wasn't a terrorist act 😊

[@BrianButterworth-s4z]

I am confused. This was a gas explosion. Where is the fire from the escaping gas?

Yesterday reports stated two people were missing. My question is... have they been found or is one of the missing the young man who worked for Chase ? One person interviewed stated his friend ran in to help get people out and he hasn't seen him since.

One of the reports stated that one of the missing was the 27 year-old male bank employee Akil Drake who has been identified as deceased.

I've read that they accounted for the other person, and she was not there

[@mallorykreiger]

the other person was found at the hospital checked in under another name.. they aren’t sure why her name at the hospital didn’t match her name with the bank, but it was the person in question. Hope this helps ❤️

Seemed everyone had it under control except that one guy running around and yelling at everyone..Back up.. back up..Sheesh..He even yelled at a plain clothes cop to stand back before he got remind the guy he was an officer too..Calm cool and collected is the people you want to take over..Anyone running around wanting to be in charge is not the person to follow because that's how mistakes are made..

[@AshleyBrown-tc3bv]

he wanted people to get back for their safety... seems pretty rational to me
