It's still in the news, both Japanese and English, but coming out 
piecemeal, because it really was a very mysterious explosion at the Sardine 
Museum. More and more it seems to have been a leak of _natural_ gas from 
underground. So sorry about your friend's mother, who appears to have been 
an employee there. The other employee  caught in the explosion is still in 
serious condition with extensive burns. FWIW.
