Explosion in Sosúa leaves injured, law firm building collapsed
What are you basing your assertion that they have no problem filling rusty gas tanks? I once took a tank that I hadn't noticed was in a rather dangerous condition to get it filled and they would only partially fill it. My Dominican friend could not afford a new gas tank so for a while had to have it partially filled at a couple of local places where they would not completely fill it.
Experience of what I saw them filling when I was having mine filled. But that could just be me and other posters in this thread who recognized the same.
A partially filled rusty tank can still leak propane and blow up a house. So there is that as well. That is comical and so DR..
Same. I just saw another video of her leaving the scene of the explosion and she was walking on her own two feet with minimal assistance.
Her face had burns, but they looked like second degree burns.
I'm guessing her internal organs were damaged beyond repair in the explosion.
Could be. The first one I saw was with her upper body out of the rubble, the next one I saw had her walking out (supported by others) with someone's shirt covering her.
Even at that stage, she was trying to cover herself up and holding the shirt in front of her. I thought 'good, she is conscious, thinking of her dignity and kind of walking, so should survive, thank god'
The next one I saw was her in a wheelchair. I was shocked to see this post in whatsapp today when I did. A needless loss.
Don't they add any smelly chemical to the gas to warn of a leak ? Mercaptan ? Usually that helps unless one has a blocked nose. Even as a child I was taught to open windows if this smell comes and avoid light switches or anything that causes a spark (3rd world country childhood)
Probably internal. I knew someone who got into a motocycle accident, was driven to the hospital and walked into the emergency room. He died from internal bleeding a day later.
This women worked hard and did everything the right way. Very sad to see. RIP

Butyl Mercaptan is added to propane to enable consumers to detect leaks by smell. Because the leaking propane is heavier than air it’s not always easy to detect small leaks in enclosed spaces until they build up to the extent where the smallest ignition source ignites it. Especially in warmer climates where doors and windows tend to remain open bur air flow is minimal.
if she inhaled any of the heat generated by the explosion, the lining of her lungs would be compromised. They are large organs and their capacity to draw in oxygen and transfer it to the blood is severely limited because of the scar tissue created by the internal burning. I suspect that why she died. The buildup of fluid on her lungs.
As said in this story, she died in hospital at later time because of serve damage to her body. You can see story here:

Once again, the article alleges Lisa suffered injuries from the blast. It's already been reported she wasn't there.
Can't you read? There is no Lisa. Her name is Carmen and she died at hospital at later time from the blast. I shared the source.
I rest my case.
MiamiDRGuy please chill out, there a lot of articles going around with incorrect information. Here is a snip of the article you posted that JD is speaking of. So clearly, he can read.
In addition to Lora Caminero, the explosion also injured Lisa Ewest, a German-born lawyer and Dominican citizen, who is currently receiving medical treatment for burns and other injuries. The local Civil Defense confirmed the details of the incident.

U are saying that this Person does not exist ?
wt* are you talking about ?.
I am not sure, the building that was destroyed was to the left of the house in the middle, it was a distinct grey/blue and red building. In your photo it is hidden by the billboard on the left (you can see the partial phone number and 'solutions.com') . In May, I went there and waited outside in the car, while my friend finished some business in there. It was a nice office. I hope she had insurance.
That is correct Lindsey. The builiding that blew up housing Lisa Legal Solutions was to the left (west) of that image of the SOUSA sign and is not visible in this picture at all other then the signs you can see through the screen of metal grill on the left side of the image.
We can’t merge any thread with one in the Headline News forum if its origin is earlier. It would move the News thread and affect those who get news via email.

A gas leak was the cause of the explosion in a building that caused the death of lawyer Carmen Joselyne Lora Caminero in Puerto Plata, according to an investigation conducted by explosives experts from the National Police.
According to the police investigation, a gas leak at the scene of the incident caused the explosion, when Lora Caminero was trying to make coffee in the offices of the Lisa Legal Solutions law firm in the Villa Ana María complex in Sosúa.
The company is owned by lawyer Eva Lisa Ewest, a German nationalized Dominican.
The accident caused the complete destruction of the two-story building, causing burns to lawyer Carmen Joselyne Lora , who was transferred to the Metropolitan Hospital of Santiago (HOMS), where she later died.
It also caused damage to a minibus on the Puerto Plata-Río San Juan route, injuring two people.
The explosion caused alarm in the community of Sosúa, as it hit homes and vehicles in the vicinity of the site.
Lora Caminero, 37 years old, suffered severe burns on 80% of her body and died last Thursday night.
