I hope there weren't too many people injured. Looks bad

it sounds like the coffee shop had already been evacuated because of the gas leak, not sure about the software company on the other side

The warehouse beside that looks partially collapsed is used to store a high end Porsche collection, or at least it used to

that post and pittmans whole account seem to be gone

4/10/2019 11:46:01 AM

That was a parody account anyway.

^I could be wrong, but I don't think it was.

This is the parody account: https://twitter.com/gunsandbibles82?lang=en

Amazing that only 2 people died. Still bad but looked like it could have been way worse. Glad others got out in time.

I forgot the Twitter law that says you can only have at most one parody account per public figure.

4/10/2019 2:04:30 PM

twitter law says you have to label it as a parody account, that's probably why it's gone now.

a local reporter confirmed it as a parody account but i can't delete it so it will stay on this page i guess until the original tweet is deleted
