Good Lifestyle

Shift

The badgers moved to the new house with their cat Ella and found the place very satisfying. The month of August 2018 turned out very special for the couple when they found their dream home and also changed the same month. But August would also prove to be the month of life changing.

August 10

August 10, Amanda and Ricky moved all their business to their home recently bought. It took them almost two weeks to settle everything because they wanted to decorate and fix each corner very precisely and with love.

Housewarming

When everything seemed settled, the couple invited friends and loved ones for a house warming party. All guests have been extremely impressed by the purchase that new owners had done. The house seemed perfect, but everything was going to go to vain.

Everyday routine

After the heating party of the house, Amanda and Ricky continued with the daily routines of their life without detecting problems. They went to Bangor in the morning of August 24 to run races. It was a normal day like any other, until something terrible happened.

Nothing unusual

When the couple returned from Bangor, the house was just as she had left it. There was nothing unusual and so they had no suspicion.

Having dinner

Amanda and Ricky arrived at home a little late in the evening of Bangor, so they decided to dine on the way back home. After dinner, they returned home and just wanted to have peaceful time between them.

Peace to the catastrophe

The expectation of a peaceful and relaxing night would soon turn to the most disastrous night that the couple would witness, without even having any idea of ​​what was to come and change your life forever.

Works

Amanda works at the Tradewind market in Milo and Ricky is working at the Labree bakery in the old town. They had worked hard every day so that they could save money to buy the house of their dreams. But they did not know that the room they had worked so vigorously, prove to be the most tragic place for them.

Pain

The calamity that struck Amanda and Ricky in their new home was not just a day trauma. It left a mark on their lives forever. So much, that the couple always suffers from a post-traumatic stress disorder (SSPT), and they do not think they would never be able to recover.

Sustainable impact

Few people know the trauma that Amanda and Ricky suffer from. These are just their families who know the HANTAINE experience and the eternal impact he has left on the unlucky couple.

The night

In the hope of spending a relaxing and peaceful night, Amanda and Ricky returned home and changed in comfortable clothes and went to the television to relax on the couch and watch something entertaining together

Unnoticed

Before getting comfortable on the couch, Amanda went to the basement to transform the gas tank. She returned to the living room and finally took a relaxing breath while sitting on the couch, without knowing what was next.

Unimaginable

What happened then was unimaginable. There was no reason that the couple would probably be on an accident since everything seemed normal to both of them. But suddenly, around 20:00 when both changed channels to decide what to watch, something happened ...

The disaster

Without sound or something unusual, when the couple was busy watching TV, the house exploded! There was a sudden voice of dragues and everything was destroyed! What exactly happened? The house seemed to have no problem at all.

Morning of the 24th

When Amanda and Ricky went to Bangor, McKusick Petroleum had to come home behind them and install a controller on a propane tank that would be used to power their gas stove. But this work was done correctly and were not a warning note of the workers either.

After the explosion

After the whole place, Amanda said, "I remember the feeling of flying in the air, seeing a fireball but does not feel hot and wakes out on the floor with something on the top of me." Where was Ricky?

Lost underneath

Amanda was stuck under the broken roof of the house that the couple had just bought. Ricky on the other hand, crawled the debris to find Amanda. He found it at the bottom of the rubble and eliminated the debris from all the matter and they both ran to the road.

Flame house

The couple, wounded and stunned, stood on the road and looked at all that remains of the dream house. There was virtually nothing of that. And just a few minutes a few minutes ago, they were sitting so happy on the couch and nothing was there.

Disturbed

The fire was gone, and Amanda and Ricky watched what remained from home. "It was just flat like a pancake," said Amanda de la Maison. They could only hear the sound of smoke alarms go out. What has happened?

To the hospital

Amanda and Ricky had to call help, but their mobiles were also somewhere in the debris. They contacted the neighbors of help and soon the couple was taken to a hospital. Amanda was taken to the Maine Medical Center for a balance sheet.

Processing

Amanda was treated for burns on her arms and legs and lacerations for three days. Her husband was treated at the Mayo Dover-Foxcroft Regional Hospital and was released the same night. But the impact of trauma was not only physical, it was much deeper.

Confused

The couple was trying to give a sense that everything happened when AMANDA suddenly received a voicemail on his replaced mobile phone. It was McKusick Petroleum and he left the couple speechless when they heard it.

Voicemail

In voicemail, when all the damage was made, McKusick Petroleum warned the couple that there was "something going on in the house". They had no explanation of this statement and it makes no sense for Amanda and Ricky.

To help

After the sudden and negligent voicemail that McKusick Petroleum had left the couple, Amanda and Ricky knew they needed help. The oil company had been negligent and the cost of their negligence could have been two lives.

Revelation

The couple hired a lawyer, Joseph Baldacci, and that is, when they discovered what was the real reason behind the explosion. The old owners of the house had cut a line of propane and never turned them off. And no one has informed the couple of this.

Convincing case

Amanda and Ricky knew they had a very strong case against McKusick Petroleum who did not indicate the couple on the line cup when installing the gas tank and putting their life at risk. But it was not going to be an easy task.

Hard time

It was indeed a very difficult patch for Amanda and Ricky, because they had lost their well-liked dog just a few weeks before this traumatic event and ashes were also lost in the explosion. There was nothing more from him.

Memories are gone

It was not only the ashes that the couple had lost. Amanda had come to know her birth family very recently and told: "I was adopted and I had recently found my family of birth. I had letters from my mother of birth in the house who left now. "

Inestimable treasure party

The most precious thing that Amanda lost in the explosion was the manuscript letters that her mother of birth had written for her and she had found them after having known her biological family. The explosion won everything away from it except for the only thing ..

Checked in

Amanda was more than grateful to see her cat Ella had been saved in the explosion. She said, "I thought ... we would find his body somewhere in the house. For them to find it and for her to go well, that's when I lost it. "

Lost

The badgers lost everything from their home to the furniture they had bought so much effort. There was nothing left and the loss was unbearable. The negligence of a company has resulted in the loss of a life for a couple as generous as the badgers.

Casual

The couple won the case against McKusick Petroleum and with the assistance of the prosecutor and received $ 550,000 from oil company. Half of the money was dedicated to repaying the homeowner's insurance and the other half was spent for new tips and treatments.

Homeless

Amanda and Ricky have become homeless shortly after buying a house and they could not understand what to do. They had lost everything they owned. For almost a month, the couple lived at Amanda's house until they could understand what to do next.

Rented house

The husband and the woman had no other option than renting a house for themselves. They rented a house about 1.5 km from Ferry Road. And they both say that their "intention is to stay here for the rest of [their] life".

Eternal effect

Although the company had given some money in the form of reimbursement of what they lost, Amanda and Ricky still suffer because of the accident. They installed an electronic stove in their new home and are always afraid of gas stoves and nightmares continue.

Better for others

The couple always feels grateful to have hired a lawyer to seek the case because at least the company would not be neglected with someone else. Amanda says, "Let's hope it will make things safer with future customers. I would not want it to happen to someone else. "
