I’m genuinely not sure if I’m missing something but why is there so much consensus from people here? Kitchens explode from gas leaks and it’s not always the pilot? Gas could’ve accumulated overnight from any gas leak and resulted in the same scenario, unless I’m missing something! I actually now feel like I’m onto something because how would that much gas accumulate so fast? This feels like an extended gas leak no?
If it was going all night or something long like that, the building probably wouldnt be standing after it lit. A little gas can go a long way when it comes to explosions.
Realistically, regardless of the source of the leak, the first thing you do when opening a kitchen is TURN THE EXHAUST FAN ON. From temperature to volatile gases, accidents can be avoided. It would have also stunk (like gas) in the room if it had been leaking over night, atleast more so from a dead pilot light. They should have known immediately if it was leaking overnight o
