I can't bd the only one who looked at the thread title and thought of Springsteen's "Atlantic City."

Well, they blew up the Chicken Man in Philly last night
They blew up his house, too​

My neighbor's house filled with gas one night a few years ago. His and the neighborhood's other postwar homes weren't equipped with outside individual shutoffs from the mains. The town immediately dug up the street and replaced the rotting pipes and installed curbside shutoffs throughout the neighborhood and elsewhere in town.

And that's how we got our street its much-needed repaving after years of complaining.

Mercy. Reminds me of a very bad case on the southside of Indy a decade ago, when two losers conspired to blow up their house for insurance money. They put a device in the microwave with a timer and were long gone when it went off at night. Trashed the entire neighborhood and killed a couple next door. The losers and one other conspirator will rot in jail.

And then I looked that one up. ^^^

Wow. Hard to pull off a perfect crime anymore.
And yet plenty of rando dummies will keep on trying ...

I drove through Plum yesterday. Not near that house, tho.

I assumed that was a home in an old neighborhood.

Holy shirt. That video.

And six in Plum? Small town.

No such thing as coincidence.

A study of links between fracking and health issues will be released by Pennsylvania researchers

One of the most enduring images of gas drilling pollution was residents in a northern Pennsylvania community lighting their tap water on fire. A state grand jury investigation later found that a company had failed to fix its faulty gas wells, which leaked flammable methane into residential water supplies in surrounding communities.
