Gas explosions are no joke, but still, houses in the US are shit. That looks like it took out at least one, and maybe two, other buildings that were some distance away. Meanwhile in Germany... The house where the explosion occurred is probably beyond salvaging but the walls are still standing, and the neighbours appear to only have suffered some damage to their roofs and attic walls. The house on the right lost some of the facade but all the windows are still whole. It's possible to build better, so why do you settle for so little?
