WTF made that Woodstock ON apartment building blow up - cont

The victims of an explosion and fire at a Woodstock apartment building in March are seeking $60 million in damages.

Four defendants are named in the lawsuit, and the lawyers representing the former tenants of the Victoria Street South apartment say they hope the case can be settled quickly.

An explosion and fire ripped through the 45-unit complex at 168 Victoria Street South in the early morning hours of March 27, 2010, killing two people and leaving nearly 100 others homeless...

...The lawsuit alleges that the source of the explosion was the laundry room in the building's basement.

But Union Gas, named as one of the four defendants, says the Ontario Fire Marshal's Office has not completed its investigation.

The company also claims that its own investigation ruled out technical malfunctions.

Andrea Stass, media relations manager for Union Gas, says "Based on our own internal review, we're confident that the incident was not related to Union Gas operations."


Place blows sky high, yet *no one* is responsable.....
