Dozens of Massachusetts Homes Exploded. A Gas Expert Weighs In.
Investigators still don't know what happened, but there's one likely explanation.
Late Thursday, dozens of explosions erupted in three towns in northern Massachusetts. As many as 70 fires, explosions, and suspected gas leaks were reported to state police, with at least 39 homes affected in Lawrence, Andover, and North Andover. One person was killed when a chimney collapsed on his car, and at least 25 more people were reportedly treated for injuries.
