A Closer Look at the Bucks County Nursing Home Blast

A tragic event unfolded in Bristol, Bucks County, when an explosion rocked a nursing home, claiming two lives and injuring many others. The National Transportation Safety Board is now digging deeper into what caused this disaster. They are examining the gas lines and the soil around the building. They are also talking to people who saw what happened, the first responders, and the gas company workers. The explosion happened in the kitchen and cafeteria area of the Bristol Health and Rehab Center. Just hours before the blast, someone reported a strange gas smell, and the gas company sent a crew to check it out. The explosion happened while they were still there. It's still not clear if the gas company's equipment or the natural gas itself caused the explosion.The two people who died were a 52-year-old employee named Muthoni Nduthu, who had three kids, and a resident whose name hasn't been shared yet. Twenty other people were hurt and taken to the hospital. This nursing home, which has 174 beds, was recently bought by a new company, Saber Healthcare Group. This event raises questions about safety in nursing homes and the importance of quick action when something seems wrong. It's a reminder that even small signs, like a strange smell, can be a big warning. The investigation is ongoing, and more answers will hopefully come soon.
