      Inattentive staff. Keep hiring children to work the jobs that adults and Mexicans won't. They don't pay enough. I guess the customers will have to deal with more suffering.

      They are suppose to have a system to detect the leaks.

        evelyna, you must have read another report of this tragedy. I didn't see any mention in this article of "inattentive staff." Nor did I read any mention of children working at the store that was blown up.

        May the people of this community come together to help each other recover from this tragedy.

            We had something like this happen at a restaurant near here. They had a propane tank behind the restaurant and the line ran underground into the restaurant. They're dumpster was located over the line and the line cracked from the vibration of the dumpster being emptied. The gas leaked into the restaurant and was ignited by one of the pilot lights and blew the kitchen up. A driver for one of my suppliers had just pulled up to the building when it blew. My stop was his next and he was still shaking when he came in my kitchen.

              evelyna, you should get your facts straight.
