I had hoped that it was a natural gas explosion and that the boys wouldn't have felt a thing. This is horrifying.

I'm pretty sure they reported from the beginning that there was no explosion.Originally posted by Green Monstah View Post

I just saw this, allegedly written by Josh Powell: http://susanpowell.org/Home
The link has nothing but ramblings of a very sick person. I had not followed this case before but after reading some of the blog posts, I have to wonder how the police couldn't get this guy to contradict himself several hundred times??
The de facto allegations that she ran away with some guy from St. George are just nuts.

The first reports called it a "powerful house explosion." Maybe that idea stuck.Originally posted by Non Sequitur View PostI'm pretty sure they reported from the beginning that there was no explosion.

Details of premeditation.
Josh Powell, who is believed to have set off the explosive fire that killed him and his two young sons in Graham, Wash., began giving boxes of the boys' books and toys to Goodwill over the weekend -- an indication that he planned the deadly blaze, police said Monday.
In the first detailed hints of what preceded Sunday's fire, Pierce County Sheriff's Det. Ed Troyer also said that Powell sent a series of relatively detailed emails minutes before the conflagration to family members and his pastor.
In the communiques -- sent too late for anyone to avert the disaster -- Powell gave some hints of why he had made his decision and logistical details about what others should do afterward, including how to shut off the utilities at his rented house.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

I've got to quit following this story. So awful. How could someone do that to anyone, let alone their own children?Originally posted by Colly Wolly View PostFox News reporting the boys bodies had hatchet wounds.... yikes.Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

On a side note...Natural Gas is odorless. They put Mercaptan in it to make it have a scent. They do this so you know if you have a leak in your home. (When you are driving behind a tanker truck, that is the difference between "odorized" and "non-odorized")
A teaspoon of Mercap spilled on the ground can cause an evacuation of a neighborhood for up to a mile.
Trust me...
(This may be the one time that I have something industry related that I can share on here.)

Facebook is to blame?
Nathan Leach, a cousin of Josh Powell’s in Texas who was among those to receive communication from Powell minutes before the fire, defended his cousin on Monday, saying a cyberbullying campaign against Powell pushed him over the edge.
Leach on Monday contacted the Seattle division of the FBI with screen shots taken from the "Where is Susan Powell?" and "Friends and Family of Susan Powell" Facebook pages in recent months and asked the agency to investigate whether people were contacting Child Protective Services with bogus claims so Josh Powell’s children would be taken away from him.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.
