Excerpt:

(CNN)-- Human error is to criticize in last week's gas-fueled explosion that tore through a strip club in the western Massachusetts city of Springfield, officials stated Sunday. The blast wounded a minimum of 21 people, including firefighters. An utility employee, responding to a report of a gas smell inside a structure, inadvertently pierced a gap in a high-pressure gas line at the foundation of that structure, according to a statement from the Office of the State Fire Marshal. Markings on the walkway incorrectly indicated where the line was. Once the pipeline was pierced, the employee called the gas business and the fire department to shut down the gas, and the location around the structure was evacuated. Investigators think gas from the leakage entered the structure and later on fired up.

• 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.
