6 People Hospitalized Following Plano House Explosion
PLANO, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) – Plano firefighters rushed to the scene of a house explosion on Monday, July 19.
It happened around 4:45 p.m. in the 4400 block of Cleveland Drive near Park Boulevard and Coit Road.
The explosion caused major damage to two other homes.
Six people, three adults and three children, were taken to the hospital.
Those patients include one person in the home that exploded and five from the home next door, Plano Fire-Rescue said.
The resident of the home that exploded was extricated from the rubble of the exploded and rushed to Medical City Plano.
There is no word on a possible cause of the explosion yet, but Atmos Energy was on the scene investigating.
Gas and electricity were shut off to the entire block for a time.
Gas and electricity was turned off to the majority of the homes on the street until approximately 9:30 pm when Atmos Energy and Oncor Electric representatives determined it was safe to reinstate gas and power.
Plano Fire-Rescue crews cleared the scene at approximately 8:40 pm leaving the scene to the Plano Fire-Rescue Fire Marshal and his investigators.
The investigation will continue into the night and tomorrow.
Plano Police confirmed late Monday night the destroyed home is not a crime scene.
Residents say they felt the impact of the blast up to one mile away.
Homes across the street had windows blown out.
Neighbors, who had damage to their homes as well, told CBS 11 there was a lot of lightning and thunder, then a boom.
“All of the sudden I heard what I thought was my sliding glass door breaking,” said neighbor Caroline Klobas. “And I just noticed two picture frames on the wall fall down and the sound and that didn’t match up. When my husband pulled into our garage, the roof in our garage had caved in.”
“It’s gone,” a police officer said about the house to CBS 11’s Andrea Lucia as she arrived on the scene.
Plano Mayor John Muns said, “We are saddened by today’s tragedy of a house explosion in our city. Several of our residents were injured. We are keeping them and their families close to our hearts and hoping for a swift and full recovery. Plano Fire-Rescue is working diligently to determine the cause of the blast. We’re asking all of you to keep the victims in your prayers.”

It was gone': Woman, 92, dies in explosion that destroys Lackawanna home
The explosion at his Lackawanna neighbor's home across the street was unlike anything Michael Salamone had seen before.
"It was disastrous," said Salamone, a West Seneca Reserve Hose firefighter.
Salamone recalled walking to his front window, coffee in hand, and opening the drapes. And then "everything went white."
"When the debris stopped falling and the smoke cleared, I could see the house across the street was leveled," Salamone said. "It was gone."
He immediately feared for the life of Irene Sanok, his 92-year-old neighbor.
“Her car was still there," he said.
City officials confirmed Sanok died in the explosion at her Bedford Avenue home Tuesday morning.
She was pronounced dead at the scene by the Erie County Medical Examiner's Office, according to the release from the city's public information officer.
Sanok is believed to have been the only one inside the home when it exploded.
Neighbors knew her daily routine. She usually went to the store around 9:30 a.m.
“This was at about 7:30 in the morning,” Salamone said of the explosion.
“We all love her, and we check on her every day,” he said.
“To me it looked like we got hit with a bomb – it was crazy,” he said, recalling what he saw when he walked outside his home. “Everything’s falling, debris is falling, wood is falling. The roof was in our backyard. It was like the world was coming apart."
The firefighters and police officers who first arrived at the house at 91 Bedford found the structure destroyed and a fire burning in the home's foundation.
The call came in at 7:22 a.m., said Lackawanna Fire Department Capt. Gary Strzelczyk.
There did not appear to be any fire still burning around 8:30 a.m., but there was a "large debris field," Strzelczyk said.
Bedford runs off Abbott Road across from Lackawanna High School.
The explosion damaged seven homes.
Karen Buntich, who lives down the street from where Sanok's home exploded, said the blast woke her up.
“I was sleeping in bed and just heard, like, the whole earth move. It really was that bizarre,” Buntich said.
"How could this happen?" she said. "It’s right on your street and it can happen to anybody. What if it was right next door?”
The explosion also woke up Jason Salamone, Michael’s son.
“The boom woke me up – I thought it was a lightning strike on the roof,” he said. “I got up and ran out and was just floored. When you hear an explosion, you think maybe just part of a house would be destroyed … but the whole thing was leveled and it was very surreal to see that.”
When Michael Salamone walked outside, he saw “a huge fireball.”
“There were flames where the basement would be, and the house was totally leveled. There were some fire spots and some debris on fire in the street.”
Salamone said a woman’s car was buried in debris on the side of the house.
His firefighter instincts kicked in as he donned some old protective turnout gear and put out small fires with a fire extinguisher while trying to locate anyone who was injured.
“As a firefighter that’s all you care about – and these people I doubly care about because they’re my neighbors,” he said.
The explosion left more than 500 National Grid customers in the area without power Tuesday morning.
The incident remains under investigation by the city police and fire departments, the Erie County Sheriff's Office and National Fuel. The investigation is expected to take several days, authorities said.

National Fuel: Testing yields 'nothing unusual' where Lackawanna house exploded
here was "nothing unusual" found in tests on the gas lines on Bedford Avenue where a house exploded Tuesday, according to a statement Wednesday by National Fuel.
"Testing of the main line and service line on Bedford Avenue as well as soil and atmospheric evaluation have shown nothing unusual or any evidence of system malfunction or leaking natural gas," the release stated.
National Fuel said it was cooperating with Lackawanna fire and police representatives and fire investigators from the Erie County Sheriff’s Office in regards to an investigation into the cause of the explosion at 91 Bedford Ave., which claimed the life of Irene Sanok, 92.
The City of Lackawanna had nothing to report on the investigation as of Wednesday afternoon. Public Information Officer Charles E. Clark said the investigation "will take some time."
Clark said that Lackawanna Code Enforcement worked with contractors to secure windows and other parts of adjoining properties that were damaged by the blast. Code officers are still assessing damages to the seven neighboring structures that were affected, Clark said.
The Red Cross was on site Tuesday to assist individuals who were displaced from homes due to explosion.

Citizen Hearing on UFO Disclosure
UFOs : History & Background / Part 1
OPENING STATEMENTS by Dr. Edgar Mitchell, and Honorable Paul Hellyer.
HISTORY & BACKGROUND PART I with Richard Dolan, Grant Cameron, Stanton Friedman, Linda Moulton Howe
Held at the National Press Club, Washington D.C. April 29th - May 3rd, 2013
The Citizen Hearing on UFO Disclosure set out to accomplish what the U.S. Congress had failed to do for forty-five years - seek out the facts surrounding the most important issue of this or any other time - evidence pointing toward an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race.
Forty researchers along with military/agency/political persons of high rank and station came to the National Press Club in Washington, DC to testify to six former members of the United States Congress.
The main ballroom of the National Press Club was configured to resemble a Senate hearing room. There were press areas, an audience area, witness tables and committee tables. Protocols for congressional hearings were followed as closely as possible during the testimony. Committee members received written statements from witnesses, heard oral statements and asked whatever questions they wished about the subject matter at hand.
Hearing witnesses testified for thirty hours over five days in five morning and five afternoon sessions, each composed of two panels of witnesses, each panel lasting approximately ninety minutes.
In the evenings, additional lectures were given by a number of top researchers in the field up Ufology.
The Citizen Hearing on UFO Disclosure was a historic event. We are excited to be able to make the footage available, and allow these brave testimonies to become part of the public record on the topic of UFOs.
