On a Saturday afternoon in Austintown, Ohio, an explosion tore through Phoenix House — a senior living complex serving elderly, disabled, and low-income residents — leaving one person hospitalized with severe injuries and many others shaken from their homes. The cause remains unknown, though the smell of gas in the air points toward a familiar and preventable kind of catastrophe. In the hours that followed, the work of accounting for every life, every body, every soul who called that building home, became the quiet and urgent labor of an entire community.
