I don't think so. I think terrorists would have more incentive to hit a building downtown or on Tinker, rather than take out an establishment in Yukon. I'm guessing the explosion was accidental. If it was intentional, I believe it's probably more criminal in nature, than terrorism. Then again, terrorists often seek out the easy targets.

All I know is how terrorists seem to hit hotels/motels oversea. We hear this in the news all the time. Now we got one locally. We'll find out soon enough. I'm thinking it is related to extreme heat?

Probably a meth lab.

Probably a meth lab.

That was the first thing they checked for. LOL

That wasn't it though. Now they are investigating other possibilities.

The manager, she is 8 months pregnant. How's the baby?

The mother gave birth via cesarean section and the baby is "doing well".

Well, congratulations to her and the baby. That's the good thing (and God's will) out of this situation.

God's will that she was involved in the explosion or God's will that the doctors worked on her and delivered her baby successfully?

I'm sure she would have preferred to give birth without being blown up first... but whatev.

I heard that the motel subcontracted some roof work out to the cheapest company they could find. They wound up with a crew of illegal immigrants who didn't know what they were doing and hit a gas line....

That's not official, just the local information from a pal who lives down the street from there. Which, if true, cements the axiom: YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR
