CBD 5-1-14 (29)
Inweekly obtained the video of the laundry area which shows the dryers breaking from the wall and floating before 6 a.m. the day of the explosion. Here are the notes that accompany the video below: videonotes.

The CBD staff shut off access to the basement earlier. Prisoners and guards smelled natural gas throughout the day. ATF determined the gas leak was from these dryers becoming disconnected. No one called Pensacola Energy.
