Reply to comment by internetcommunist in Palmer’s in Reading exploded and was ablaze, most articles still not saying much :( by vintageideals

At least 2 dead and 9 unaccounted for at this time. I kinda of doubt this was employer negligence, but you never know. All signs are pointing to a natural gas explosion. Could have been a freak thing or an accident that caused the leak/explosion.

Yeah, I’m waiting to hear the official cause. I keep hearing it was a gas explosion as well.

That information has been corrected at a news conference. 2 dead, 5 still unaccounted for. Supposedly the earlier information came from PEMA. It's a bit concerning that the state is giving out information that has to be corrected by local officials.
