[Tollbooth Willie]

Like a rapidly expanding bubble. I didn't notice until the second watch, it's so beautiful.

 

[Dog--]

[Tollbooth Willie]

Heh, the fire truck in the first one sounded like horror movie music.

 

[Phobie]

Cloverfield

 

[kineaesth]

I'm shocked at this.

 

[Omnomnick]

Holy Shiiiiiiiiiit!!! :|

 

[Xendance]

Cloverfield

You know what? I was thinking exactly the same thing.

I usually am interested in things like this, but this is quite shocking. Honestly, I'm in quite a shocked state.

Pretty sure this one hasn't been posted yet. Check the shock wave at 0:24

 

[Bad^Hat]

Goddamn.

What's the damage? D:

 

[IonizeMyAtoms]

Amazingly only one firefighter is dead and one other person (a truck dispatcher) is missing
This place is in the middle of a residential area, pretty crazy. I'm pissed I missed it, I was passed out drunk

 

[Baal]

As one would expect, there's tons of broken glass in the area.

It's funny to think how large this explosion appeared to be to us, but clearly it truly was nothing when you consider the limited damage it did.

The grey area is the propane depot. The only damage to the surrounding residential areas are broken windows.

 

[CptStern]

I work a few km north of the explosion. left early this morning to beat traffic cuz of rerouting traffic around the affected area but traffic was light and I was 30 mins early ..for a big explosion the immediate area sustained little damage besides ground zero and a few neighbouring businesses/homes.

 

[AKIRA]

the explosion was so loud that i heard a faint rumbling early in the morning and i live in hamilton.


....i lied but imagine if i was telling the truth :|

but seriously, wtf Hank Hill...i thought propane was supposed to be SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Baal]

Everything is safe until it gets hit by lightning.

At least, that's what I've heard was the cause of it... :|

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Wow that is an incredible explosion in such a densely populated area, scary as hell.

I was looking for information on the cause of it, can't see anything yet, if it is lightning that's really unfortunate. The main problem here is why this kind of plant is built so close to a residential area, according the BBC news, people are livid about it.

Also, one person missing & 1 firefighter was killed - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7553561.stm

 

[Dog--]

I was about to post the death thing too, Glenn.

Over half of my newspaper is plastered with a whole bunch of different stories of individual people, some of these stories are crazy. There was one guy who is in a wheel chair, and his house collapsed on him, he lived across the street from the plant, he made it out despite being burned.

Another story a guy had his doors/windows blown right off, and he said the explosion made him fly atleast 10 feet backwards.

Freaking crazy.

 

[JNightshade]

That's freaking nuts D:

 

[Cpt Tenacious]

Can't anyone hold a ****ing camera still? Pretty sure he was drunk.

EDIT: Could someone screencap the picture on google maps? I couldn't find it.

 

[Emporius]

I heard something on the news about 12000 people evacuated, which seems slightly ridiculous...

 

[Dog--]

The newspaper said something along the lines of 100,000 people out of 280,000 people of Mississauga were evacuated. Mississauga is a town to the west of Toronto.

 

[Nomad]

Oh god, I felt the shockwave and I was like WTF? Then I watched the news and immediately made a D: face.

 

[CptStern]

The newspaper said something along the lines of 100,000 people out of 280,000 people of Mississauga were evacuated. Mississauga is a town to the west of Toronto.

lol why would they evacuate mississauga if it didnt happen anywhere near there? keele and 401-lawrence area has an estimated 25,000 people, they evacuated 10K

 

[Dog--]

I dunno.. I had 4 hours of sleep, and I was just at the eye doctors getting an eye exam, and I picked up a copy of the Toronto Star, I was pretty sure it said Mississauga, and also 100,000.

shh.

 

[CptStern]

I'm a few kms from ground zero and I'm in toronto ..nowhere near mississaugua

 

[Baal]

shh.

Are you sure you didn't travel back to the year 1979?

Spoiler

In actual fact, all you did was read a part of the article that cited that story as part of a "similar incident" type thing

Which video were you looking at? The one I posted, the guy got blown back from the shock wave.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

[Cpt Tenacious]
