The smell was not overpowering when Jess Williams returned home before an explosion that led to 70% burns
There was a smell of gas when Jess Williams, a nursery school worker from south Wales, went into her kitchen on a warm June day in 2020. It wasn’t overpowering, until she reached for the oven.
“I touched the dial and it instantly exploded,” she told the Guardian. “It just blew the whole house up in seconds. It was just rubble.”
