Wuddafuk, deyz expecks muh to turn off muh own gas an' sheeit?

A grieving son is searching for answers in the suspected gas explosion that decimated a Bronx home, killing his mother and injuring his aunt, along with seven others Tuesday.

Martha Dagbatsa, 77, had lived at the Fox Street home in Longwood since the 1990s when she came to the US from her native Ghana, her son Anthony Aime told The Post Wednesday while at the scene of the devastation.

“I just want to understand what’s going on,” Aime said. “The house that I grew up in is no longer there and the houses adjacent to them are burnt to the studs. It’s like garbage at this point.”

Dagbatsa and her sister, Evelyn Amoateng, 68, lived on the second and third floors at 869 Fox St., where Martha was sleeping at the time the blast happened at 11 a.m. following a suspected gas leak.
