MCMXCII Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) According to the Minneapolis Fire Department, a gas leak caused an explosion and leveled a building at the Minnehaha Academy, a school that teaches grades K-12. It is reported that the people inside only had 15 seconds to evacuate the school. So far, as of typing this, only one fatality reported. Five people were rushed to the hospital and three still remain unaccounted for. (Source) I'll keep updating this when I can.

ṼirulenⱦEqừinox Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 With it only being the 2nd of August hopefully kids weren't inside the building, If not and this had happened a month or so later we would probably be talking Newtown numbers of kids killed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I assume it was just staff and faculty inside to get the school ready for the new school year. But I could be wrong.

DarkSavageDeathlyCloud Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Sounds like it honestly could have been way worse and the timing for something like that to happen, if it had to happen, could not have been better. Here is hoping they do not find anyone anymore, let alone dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not to go too off-topic in my own thread, I live in Oklahoma and Oklahoma City started the new school year on August 1st. Other towns and cities in my state start about one to two weeks into the month. So it varies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sivispacem Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Does this really warrant a topic? Gas explosions, including fatal ones, happen on an extremely regular basis.
