Looks like everyone’s talking about the Bozeman Explosion – Check out the Bozeman Daily Chronicle for more info. In a scene of seldom witnessed destruction, an explosion caused by natural gas decimated 3 structures in Bozeman this-morning, and this caused an area spanning 2 blocks to be evacuated by the authorities. Because of an inability to shut down the flow of highly flammable natural gas from the accident, firefighters have adopted the policy of simply letting it burn out.

Nobody injured as yet, but those damaged structures could yet prove fatal. Also, the area has not been entirely searched so there may be undiscovered casualties. The explosion violently shook homes and shops up to 3 blocks away from the epicentre of the Bozeman explosion.
