RV explosion in Yuma!

Sadly, as we get older we become more likely to make mistakes and have more difficulty surviving the result. Living in a senior community, I have seen several reminders of that issue recently. How very sad.......... :(

 

I wouldn't be quick to blame this on the owner's mistake or age - just like the first thought was a meth lab.

The latest word is that the wife is out of the hospital and their two sons are on scene dealing with the aftermath, insurance, etc. No further word on the gentleman's condition.

To all of you brilliant investigators,

I am the son of the Man who was killed in this explosion. He was not cooking meth and there were no oxygen tanks in the RV. The cause as ruled by the Metro County fire department was a faulty regulator that allowed all of the gas to release into the rv in a matter of minutes causing a flash explosion. If you don't know what that is, look it up before commenting or speculating on the cause of the accident. He was the minister at the camp ground and last I checked Liable is still something you can be sued for. Check your facts.

My condolences to you, your mother, and other family members. I'm sorry some members on here were so quick to speculate. Sometimes we have too much time on our hands and we use it poorly. I'm sure no one here meant to add to your pain. Please, accept my apology on behalf of this usually caring group.
