This was a manufacturing plant, sounds like they had a propylene gas
leak that must have ignited. No one hurt, nearby surrounding homes damaged from the shockwave of the explosion.

Doesn't sound like Muslim terror, more likely just a garden variety industrial accident. Last I heard HFD had yet to be able to stop the gas leak, but it's venting harmlessly, since it's lighter than air.


Perhaps the explosion actually self extinguished the fire by immediately consuming all the oxygen? The aerial footage clearly shows an explosion, but I saw no pics or video of fire, so it must have gone out pretty quick.
