Authorities say a loud explosion has leveled a home in Indianapolis and set four others ablaze in a neighborhood, causing several injuries on Saturday Nov. 10, 2012. (AP Photo/The Indianapolis Star, Matt Kryger) The blast was so loud it woke people as far as three miles away, triggering thoughts of a plane crash or earthquake. Alex Pflanzer was sound asleep when his home's windows blew out and his wife started screaming. What he didn't know — what nobody knew Saturday night about an hour before midnight — was that something had caused an explosion that leveled at least two nearby houses in this middle-class Indianapolis neighborhood so far south that it's almost a suburb. The blast killed two people and rendered whole blocks uninhabitable. The cause of the explosion remains under investigation. "I didn't know what was going on," Pflanzer said.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
