Kenster1025 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Oh crap. My house in Canada (rented out) is like 15 minutes drive away. I hope nobody got hurt. Well as long as the house isn't in the Wilson Ave. and Keele St. area of Toronto, you are okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Oh crap. My house in Canada (rented out) is like 15 minutes drive away. I hope nobody got hurt. I'm sure it's fine. They released a map of the affected area on CBC. Also, keep in mind that just because these places were evacuated, doesn't mean they were destroyed.

Mr.Mister Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I am staying with a friend around that area but maybe a few miles away, I dunno. We were on the porch smoking and we heard a explosion. We thought it was a oil truck exploding on the highway but we went on the roof and saw it. Scary f*cking sh*t, we thought it was terrorists or a building demolishion gone wrong.

1066ant Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 building demolishion gone wrong. Do you Canadians always blow up houses with hundreds of tons of TNT then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Is it bad that this was the 1st thing into my head when I saw the explosions? Reminds me of the time when we had that big fire in Hemel Hempstead here in the UK. Fuel Depot went up, you could hear the blast from the other side of London and could still see the smoke from that far away for days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taste Of Chaos Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 sh*t a brick... You could see the f*cking shockwave coming off that... Must have been a sight to remember, even if you did sh*t yourself when you were there. Opportunity knocks once in a lifetime, temptation will lean on the doorbell.

LanceVanceDance07 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I live about a half hour away from the explosions, I saw the videos and to be honest, that looked f*ckin awesome, but I know that it is very tragic. At least 18 people hurt, 1 dead, 1 missing, the one that died was a firefighter trying to battle the blaze Just flipped to the news on the television and now residents of the area are being allowed back to their homes with police escort.

Xo4 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 That Video is amazing. Sad that people were Injured/killed, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark-2007 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 OH MY GOD. That's some cloverfield type sh*t there. All it needed was the guy going "People are gonna want to know how it all went down." But, condolences to the dead firefighter's family. In a way, one death is more tragic than if a lot of of people died, especially when that person was trying to help out. Any more news on it?

Gouveia Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Looks like an Atom Bomb wen't off Exactly. I was going to ask him if he was sure it was only a propane depot. Might sound a little ridiculous or something, but that explosion was awesome. I know, it might have killed someone, but look at the second video. The air moving away is awesome.

Aimee Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 My god, those videos are insane. I have no idea what i'd do if i was watching that happen so closely, apart from sh*t myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starion Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Right. We've had SUV's blowing up, Russia trying to blow up Georgia, Terrorists blowing up China, and now a Gas depot blowing up in America? Whats next!? England blowing up!? mod it with Nitrous Oxide and chassis dyno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolyGrenadeFrenzy Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 ^ Hahaha! Looks like an Atom Bomb wen't off NO....It does not! An atomic bomb looks quite different. Most explosions look like that by degree by it most definately does not look like an atomic explosion. You watch to many movies. but in for the footage of an atomic bomb? really an atomic bomb is far worse than the propane explosion....bang ....but that propane explosion was still way too close for comfort!
