  • A massive explosion and fire that killed two people and leveled a New Jersey home on Sunday was "not accidental," according to authorities. The blast occurred early Sunday in the Gloucester County community of Washington Township, and neighbors said it sounded like a bomb going off. The Washington Township Police Department said in a statement Monday morning that the explosion has prompted an "ongoing criminal investigation" and cited the Gloucester County prosecutor's office that the incident was "not accidental."

A massive explosion completely destroyed a home in South Jersey on August 3, 2023, with the blast being so powerful that it was felt miles away, shaking houses and breaking windows. The explosion occurred around 10:30 a.m. in Buena, Atlantic County, and resulted in the death of a 1-year-old boy, while his parents and two siblings were hospitalized with injuries. The cause of the explosion is under investigation, but authorities have not ruled out the possibility of a gas leak. Neighbors reported hearing a loud boom and feeling their homes shake, with some describing the scene as resembling a war zone due to the extensive damage to surrounding properties.
