Police release scene of house explosion
(CNS): The relevant agencies have all completed their work at the house that exploded last Monday lunchtime in Newlands and have removed the cordons and opened the road. The home on Bayfield Crescent, which was literally blown to pieces, has been declared unsafe to enter or occupy and the public is asked not to enter the property.
No further details on what is still suspected to have been a propane gas tank explosion have yet been released. It is understood that the Watler family, whose home it was, are being helped by the authorities. Friends and neighbours also rallied around to help with supplies after Foster’s supermarket in Countryside organised a donation drive.
Meanwhile, other residents whose properties were damaged have begun working on the repairs.

Experts and fire officials agree the likelihood of a propane tank catching fire and exploding is extremely rare. Leaks themselves are rare, but explosions almost never occur – even if tanks are dropped or mishandled – because of the safety mechanisms built in.
Propane tanks have relief valves that only open if heat causes the propane to expand and pressure rises.
“(Tanks) cannot just explode,”… “Typically, the thing comes apart at the seams in two or three big chunks. It’s not going to shatter into 1,000 pieces of shrapnel.”
….people don’t need to worry about their steel tanks being punctured.
“Those propane tanks, like the tanker truck that delivers to the home, that’s almost half-inch-thick steel,”
(National Propane Gas Association)
Nothing suspicious about a house explosion? I will be damn! Now I’ve heard it all….maybe aliens?
