Channel 9 just said a waitress left work feeling ill because of a heavy gas odor.

Lucky.


That said, how does anyone let a strong gas odor go on long enough for someone to complain and leave early.  I mean, if you work in a kitchen and smell that heavy of a gas odor, it should ring some major alarm bells.


I'd be leary of accounts in the immediate aftermath of it.

It will be interesting to hear how this whole thing went down. My wife went to take out the dog just a couple minutes before the explosion, and took our dog down to the corner of 48th and Belleview and said it smelled like gas REALLY bad. It'd be hard to think that anyone would have stayed in that building.

KMBC just reported there could be more gas explosions and they pushed back everyone.  Be safe everyone.

The smoke cloud was massive.  I could see it from 105th and Metcalf clearly.  I wondered what it was at the time.

Over 1500 bottles of vintage wine in that joint?  The horror!!  :horrorsurprise:
Fifteen minutes later, when the Kansas locker room opened its doors to the media, the Jayhawks were still crying. Literally, bawling. All of them. I've never seen anything like it, and I've seen devastated college locker rooms -- after losses in the Final Four, the national championship game -- ever

There is a backhoe right in the middle of that mess, wonder if that has anything to with it?

I want clams to call into Larry Moore with a report than sign off with a "goEMAW.com" like bababooey

True story, my friend bababooey'd Larry after the Atchison grain elevator explosion a couple years ago.

Looks like it started from that backhoe digging in the road for some reason

Oh man if the construction company that nobody wanted down there ended up causing the explosion, the lawsuits will be Crown Center walkway-esque  :popcorn:

He probably averages 2-3 JJ's visits a month, at least.
