No, if the line breaks open due to the explosion, safety valves will shut them off.
And if it's a gas explosion, the force of the explosion would use up all the free oxygen and gas inside the unit, leaving nothing left to burn. Note that they use explosives to stop gas well fires.
My analysis is: If this was an occupied unit, the gas valve was left open or a burner left on but not ignited, then the room filled with gas. Once it reached the proper ratio or when someone flipped a switch, boom.
It could also be an explosive device, but I doubt it, at this point.
