explosion!

Yesterday at work , the day was going by boring as usual when all the sudden there were about 10 firetrucks, 4 hatzolahs, police cars, news reporters, etc outside my work. On the next block these frum people who had just finsihed building a really nice house about a year ago. They were building a mikvah in their basement and the workers were waterproofing it and somehow the fumes from the chemicals got ignited and there was a huge explosion. All their windows were blown out, and the whole back/left side of the house was like blown outward all the walls are cracked and everything. One worker died on the spot and the other died in the hospital. It's really a miracle because the owner of the house was just in the kitchen a few minutes before and she went to the front of her house to get the door and meet with a decorator and then the explosion happened and blew up straight into the kitchen. The whole entire neighborhood was outside watching what was going on. It's so sad they just finished building it , they have 7 kids and now the wohle thing is totally ruined. They're probably gonna have to knock down the whole house becuase it blew the foundation. Its so horrible i feel so bad!!
