Real-life sleeper cells are not into terrorism. They're disaffected Russians who are overpaid by their government to come and live here and send back newspaper clippings and pretend they're insidious badasses.

For the record, I'm undecided on fracking. I've seen some data that lends credence to the assertions about sinkholes and ground destabilization (it's used in areas with a lot of limestone...like a lot of place near where I live now that are full of caverns and sinkholes happen from time-to-time), which makes sense in light of the fact they're pumping shitloads of water into the ground.
I openly mock you on this one. There's nothing in that article to indicate what caused the explosion. You're not even making an educated guess...you're just eager for it to be something it's not likely to be. You don't even know how near/far fracking is taking place from the exploding home. In short, you're being crazy, but we know it's not like you really need to back up your crazy assertions (despite always expecting everyone else to write a doctoral thesis with 24 unique sources to back their own up) because "this isn't a court of law."
You haven't seen any data on anything. What you haven't seen either is a hard-and-fast stand on the right-wing blogs and talk shows that are your sole source of information, because the facts are so bad they don't even want to talk about it. Proof being that you think that the fact that fracking is not mentioned, in a news article, is proof that such is a basis to exclude that possibility: to you, for all your blabber about liberal media bias, that is the gauge of what is or is not real.
This sort of thing is known to happen as a result of fracking, and it's a freakish occurrence that generally speaking simply does not happen otherwise. You just don't hear about or see random eruptions worldwide. Given that fracking is rare in the world at large, and is practiced in the area, that this is the result is common sense.
The truth is you are simply an America-hater who doesn't care about this country, only about getting what you want, right here, right now, and avoiding any kind of sacrifice or inconvenience such as thinking things you don't like thinking or having to adjust your lifestyle and world view.
