Gas leak?
It seems like that is the usual situation, a leak that is undetected and slowly fills a basement or other space to an explosive level. Okay watched the video so I think I will go with drug operation or maybe an idiot making explosive devices. Que the feebs calling it a White supremacist pro Trump militia anti government  group bomb making operation in response to the Trump raid.

There was a house explosion from a gas leak in a Twin Cities suburb the other day that killed several people.
Most likely scenario whenever there's a house explosion.
Reading the news of the Indiana explosion this morning the article mentioned a deliberate gas line tampering case that got some people killed in Indiana ten years ago.
Three people are doing life in prison for that crime...they were trying insurance fraud and got the next door neighbors killed instead.
