Destroit Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Does anyone know what is going on? It was HUGE! There is such a gigantic amount of black smoke in the air that it was NOT an ordinary explosion on an ordinary house. Almost every fire truck in the surrounding cities are here trying to put it out. It was so massive that from two miles away it SHOOK the house to the point where everyone got up, started running outside grabbing the pets on the way, because we thought that maybe our house was about to go down. I thought my house was going to come down on us over two miles away, the whole house BOWED under the blast. Does anyone know what's going on? I'm nervous about going outside or opening up windows because I don't know what I'm breathing in. Figured maybe someone might live closer than I do. It's in the same area as The Ritz, only a few yards away. There is no way that there are no casualties, it was too massive. Does anyone know what is going on? It was HUGE!

Destroit Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 The news has not decided which building it is (One said Cozy Cafe, a breakfast joint, another said Metro Signs, another said it was a textile factory). Through my brilliant journalistic genius, I was able to solve it myself: "Nothing amazing ever happens here. Everything is ordinary." - Naota Nandaba, FLCL The news has not decided which building it is (One said Cozy Cafe, a breakfast joint, another said Metro Signs, another said it was a textile factory).

boshy Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 damn! is that the one on hover between 10 and 9 ? random building fires happened quite often in the 70's when the economy was almost this bad. the owners couldn't rent or sell them so they "myteriously" caught on fire. that's why detroit is the way it is. expect more of this to happen.

Destroit Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I heard that shit My house TIPPED like a boat, it felt like I was at sea. I'm less than a mile away. I just read that all the glass within 400 feet of the building has been shattered, I'm so driving past that in the morning! My house TIPPED like a boat, it felt like I was at sea.

Destroit Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I have no idea how, in an area that populated with houses directly behind the building, only one pedestrian that was standing across the street sustained minor injuries. There were no casualties at all! The linen company was apparently abandoned, which I hadn't known because I drive past it all the time and it didn't appear to be vacant to me.

Vater Araignee Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 The building housed a part time commercial linen and laundry service. Firefighters searched the rubble once it cooled down to make sure there was no one inside. One man injured and treated on the scene. Police said that it was caused by a gas explosion. Warren Fire Commissioner Skip McAdams said that the cause of the blast wasn't known. Consumers Energy crews were checking the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Fire Commissioner Skip McAdams said that the cause of the blast wasn't known. Consumers Energy crews were checking the area. I expect it more and more in Warren because of the faulty way our building code operates, corrupt building enforcement that are easy to bribe, and the fact that we had a slew of abandonment that we're still trying to weed out. It's going to be a long process, the mayor is taking an active approach and knocking down any commercial buildings that have been abandoned for a certain amount of time. Once that operation is over, they're going to see about residential homes, but that's more of a touchy thing to do as those homes are starting fly off the market around here. It's going to take South Warren a few years to come back, but I've only been living here about a year and a half and I'll tell you the place is already looking less like Detroit every day. What I LOVE is the fact that Warren isn't doing it so RACIALLY anymore! Warren was synonymous with "rednecks" who didn't want "n$%^#@" moving up in their neighborhoods. Well I can't stand that, I want to live in a giant fold of tons of different people, and it seems as though Warren police are not as overzealously racist (along with the citizen) anymore. I never thought I'd see it in my lifetime, never-the-less live on a great block with great people and racial representation from almost every ethnicity. So when they bring Warren back...hopefully it's more blended .

Starting Signal Explosion in Warren stop The building housed a part time commercial linen and laundry service stop Firefighters searched the rubble once it cooled down to make sure there was no one inside stop One man injured and treated on the scene stop Police said that it was caused by a gas explosion stop Warren Fire Commissioner Skip McAdams said that the cause of the blast wasn't known stop Consumers Energy crews were checking the area stop End of work Now wile I didn't gain an opinion it did confirm a conclusion. Cops should shut the hell up and take the time to actually learn the law and stop looking like the fucktards they appear to be when spewing about shit they have zero training in. It may have been a gas leak but the cop that said that I will guarantee didn't have a clue at the time. Considering the known activity taking place in the building I could have used a more educated guess and said it may have been a chemical explosion. Most people would be amazed to find out the explosive potential contained in a small dry cleaning business. Hell using could have, may have or my best guess helps prevent one from looking like a fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second I found out it was an abandoned laundromat/linen company, I thought that it was possible chemicals were involved. Still have yet to drive by it today, I'm supposed to go to a barbeque when my boyfriend gets home, so maybe we'll finally see it. My house, even though it physically moved during the explosion, does not appear to have any cracks in the foundation thank God.

Now I would like to dig through the rubble myself, starting to think I would find gutted alkaline batteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was abandoned. As I said in a previous post, it looked like it wasn't vacant, I had no idea what it was before it exploded. Yeah it was abandoned.
