House destroyed in huge explosion on Swansea street Tags:United Kingdom 6 comments [deleted] Parents in law live 4 doors away from the end house. I was 1 mile away, and the shockwave rocked the house… They are safe with us now, but there was debris over 100m the other side of the river, I’m hoping everyone’s OK! My sister in law’s house was damaged in this. I’m just grateful she was inside and not out walking with her kids. gas leak? someone has been neglecting safety inspection and maintenance? RIP. Are house explosions a common problem in the UK now? Are your gas pipes antique from the 1900s? I’ll wager somebody thought trying to bypass the gas meter with a reciprocating saw was a good idea.
