Investigation Summary
A two-story bank building with an unvented crawl space under the whole structure exploded as a result of hydrocarbon-based gas buildup in the crawl space. Employees #1, #2, and #3 were killed; Employees #4, #7, #8, #9, #11, #12, #13, and #14 were hospitalized and Employees #5, #6, and #10 were not hospitalized. There had been no indication of a gas buildup or any warning given. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms ruled out any high explosive involvement, titling the remaining rubble as a classic gas explosion, as all parts fell within 6 ft of the foundation.
