He was trying to get him to compare it to something that people can relate to and the guy said "You really can't compare it to anything". He keeps trying to get people to say how the explosion could have happened and they keep saying "We'll have to wait for an investigation". Etc, etc, etc.. he's not getting any answers.

Sometimes, I'm not sure that 24 hour news channels are a good thing.
I don't know why you made me lol with that, but you did! We have somewhat local coverage that I've been watching (help me, Pittsburgh people - about 1 1/2-2 hours away?), so we're getting the "real stuff".

But it is true - they won't know exactly what happened until there's an investigation. There are just too many possibilities.
