Four homes leveled in Mississauga near Toronto by explosion

No worries though, If it was a terrorist bomb either by design or accident by the makers, it will be discovered to be a gas leak. If it was a gas leak it will be called a gas leak.

We need our own experts at this time.

CBC has this story now:

(Some minor video at that site also.

From a Tweet:

640 Toronto

Authorities are on the scene of what appears to be a house explosion in Mississauga.

Peel Police said they received the call to attend the scene on Hickory Drive in the area of Rathburn Road East and Dixie Road at 4:22 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon following multiple reports of a loud bang being heard and a plume of smoke rising from the street.

It’s thought as many as 6 houses have been destroyed or partially destroyed police have now set up a large perimeter in the area.

Fire and ambulance services are also on scene, with paramedics tweeting that a triage centre has been set up in the area.

Willl update as more comes in for the day.

  1. Explosion seemed to have a single direction. Do gas explosions travel in one direction or all directions?

    • That depends on the strength of the walls of the building, strong on 3 sides and weak on the 4th will direct the blast. From what I remember from reading explosive ordinance manuals this could be either a gas leak or a bomb, however something is saying the level of devastation should be larger for a gas leak. But that would depend on how much gas was in the house when it exploded.

  2. What about that blast in Greely ontario? Never heard a word from the cops. Won’t hear about this one either.

  3. Unless, of course, Anders Breivik got early release and that’s him making bombs for his pro-Trump campagne. Then it would be breaking news for the next two weeks…

  4. That’s a pretty healthy crater for a NG explosion, never seen one like that, I’d say that I’d like to know the name of the owner and go from there.
