Sort of laughed.

Wasnt there a Simpsons episode where Homer blew up the town via a similar way?

It's not clear whether investigators will ever be able to determine what caused the spark that ignited the explosion.

"The building that housed the Scores Gentleman's Club was destroyed and a children's day care center next door was heavily damaged."
This seems like poor planning

And this

Nuttin ta see here folks, just an unfortunate axcident.

Of course there's no more leaks. Theres no more pipe.

This is a repeat of the followup -- nothing new that I can see.

What a good friend does: digs the trench so his buddy can lay pipe.

What a Springfield Strip Club looks like:

Here's a better followup to the followup, from the local paper: http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ss f/2012/11/springfield_explosion_ i nvestig.html.

A perfect opportunity to use the ironic tag, missed.
