A suspected gas explosion killed one person and injured 7 people. The explosion also damaged dozens of townhouses in Ewing Township, New Jersey. Public Service Electric & Gas workers were called to examine a gas that might have been damaged by a company contractor shortly before noon. The explosion took place nearly an hour later when the PSE&G workers were attempting to repair the line. It blew out windows, caused several fires and debris was flying all around the housing development. The damage was extensive. The 7 workers had no life threatening injuries.

What do you think the community will do to help the family of the women that died?
How do you think that they will come back from this?

Good job replying!
I feel like the community and surrounding communities will all come together and help the people. They will give them shelter, food, and help pick up the damage.
They will probably have fundraisers to help raise money for funeral cost and they will probably make that family meals.
this is scary. im very surprised that only one person was killed and 7 were injured
yes. I am surprised that the workers didnt' get hurt too serverly. But i am glad that they didn't get hurt too much or more than that dead or injuried. Although i am sorry for the family though.
Hopefully the neighborhood will try to help by raising money to help the woman's family and maybe raise money to repair the damage of the neighborhood. Hopefully they can all work together to fix their neighborhood.
I think that the community will come together and help the woman's family and also i think that they will come back from this.
I just hope the community rallies behind this families and provides support along with other things those people might need.
I agree with this. The family might need some support. And also if they support each other and be there for one another then things will be better in no time.
I think that people will just have to move on and rebuild. There isn't much you could do to stop it.
