INDIANAPOLIS –  A couple whose home was heavily damaged by a deadly house explosion that left part of an Indianapolis neighborhood in ruins watched quietly Tuesday as a large excavator pulled apart their shattered home -- the first of nearly three dozen slated for demolition in the coming month. Brett and Nikki Cocherell stood subdued across the street as the excavator tore into their home's second floor, sending insulation and drywall dust flying and revealing its buttery-yellow and pale blue interior walls. The couple left before the demolition was complete and did not speak to reporters, taking with them a small section of mortared bricks pulled from their home's rubble as a memento. Mike Phillips, a neighbor who stood with the couple during part of the demolition work, said they were in a surprisingly good frame of mind as they watched their home come down.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
