Sucks for the innocent that were killed. If drug related, they deserved everything they got.

Gotta be meth, its Edmonton after all.
Really, I mean Edmonton, the house realized where it was and blew itself up.
Thoughts and Prayers, or great news whichever applies.

I was hoping there wasn't any victims in the other houses.

Do Meth labs really blow up like that?

Ahh, the amazing perception of the young...
Something had to be going on in that house. You'd think if it was a natural gas leak/explosion, one of the three men inside would have noticed before it blew?

Same thing happened in Lethbridge about 4-5 years ago a block from my ex-sister-in-law's house. Meth lab.

Copious quantities of garbage. A meth labs uses lots of chemicals like stove fuel, white gasoline, ammonia, propane tanks, paint thinner and antifreeze, not to mention cold and diet pills. And equipment like glass containers and tubing is always in use. If your neighbor is careless enough to leave all of the empty containers out on the curb for garbage pickup, then the sheer quantity of trash should make you suspicious. But you should never inspect the garbage yourself; meth lab equipment and waste are extremely hazardous. It's far more likely that your neighbor will never leave the garbage out at the curb for pickup, but instead always ship the garbage elsewhere so as to avoid detection

Edmonton's so bad, even the houses can't stand it there.

Natural gas, probably knocked them out while they were sleeping. My guess anyway.
In the late 80's a house blew up in Saskatoon, natural gas leak. Unbelievable how a house can just about vanish.

The one on the corner of St. Edwards Blvd? That house blew up in 2003, I think. We live quite a few blocks away. My wife thought maybe I fell out of bed. I didn't think that house was a meth lab. At least the official explanation was something to do with a faulty propane tank being stored in the basement. The picture they painted in the news didn't lead a person to believe it was a meth lab. You never know though.
I don't remember another house explosion in Lethbridge since then. At least, I'm not sure. There was another house that burned down but I don't remember if it too was an explosion. That one would have been 4-5 years ago.
I remember a house in Marlborough, in Calgary blowing up, sometime around 83-85. Don't really remember the cause or anything, but I think it was rigged by a guy who was going through a divorce and didn't want his wife to get the house. At any rate I don't think it caused the same amount of destruction to surrounding houses that the house in Edmonton did.

With EPS Homicide taking over and the fact that Edmonton Fire Rescue had their decontamination truck on scene - I would put money on it not being a natural gas problem.

Wow...a lot of bad jokes in a thread about innocent people being killed by an explosion that could happen anywhere. Really bad taste guys.

I am serious. Sorry, but these jokes are in bad taste. Regardless of the city it happened in.
