Pottstown Boro , Montgomery Co. 400 blk of North Washington St. *Second Alarm House Fire* Command reports a large house explosion and declared a Level 5 MCI . Three people are trapped and two DOAs in the street .


My scanner app pushed a notification for this. I listened and didn't hear anything about the plane but according to the app it was a plane crash. No word on what type/size plane.

Looking at Google maps, no food factory nearby, but a school is just a few blocks away.
Looks like a typical neighborhood in the NE.

Heard on scanner that they are shutting down a propane tank. Not sure if that was a result of this or the cause.

Nah, that has to be gas. Meth lab explosions wouldn’t completely erase a house like that

Like others said, that looks like a house blew up from inside but the plane sound (I assume that's the source of the assumption) might be a clue.

Has there been a call to ban planes yet?

Sounds like a large tannerite explosion but someone would have to shoot a large container of it to do that

Imagine a small single engine. There’s a small airfield not too far from there that handles that type of aircraft.
