23. I have not found a single reliable report that there was a pre-fire explosion.

The early reports claiming there was an explosion before the fire were in places like New York Post, Hindustanian Times, Daily Mail, etc. Currently, the investigators have indicated there is no evidence of a pre-fire explosion (according to media which bears some relation to the truth).

Is it possible the fire was set - definitely. And I'm sure there are plenty of Trump supporters who are thrilled about it. Is it likely there was an explosion? Not according to anything I've seen. So I'm going to wait until the investigation is further along before I blame it on the right wing wackos.

Wild theories? dpibel Oct 5 #13

Of course. But in some cases they aren't theories. They're facts observed by others as well. BannonsLiver Oct 6 #20
