Plantation Explosion is in Broward County & Happened Just B4 Arrest of Epstein Announced Reports the fire started in a PIZZA SHOP.   Explosion in Plantation FLA, which is located in Epstein's home county of Broward county, may have been triggered by Epstein's arrest since it occurred around the same time. ATF is investigating the blast that was so powerful that all that remains of the restaurant is the metal studs. Something tells me that Comet Pizza accusations are soon not going to sound quite so ridiculous if this explosion relates. ATF does not investigate gas line explosions. Broward county will not be in charge of investigation to cover it up with ATF stepping in.  Several agencies are involved in investigation.  That doesn't happen for a broken gas line.
