It might have recorded something like this...
A doorbell video camera captured the moment a California home was blown to smithereens in a thunderous gas explosion that left six people injured on Thursday morning.
Footage circulating on social media depicts a scene that one resident compared to a “war video,” with a massive blast shaking a suburb of Hayward, sending plumes of heavy smoke into the sky and echoes of a reverberating boom. If you look very closely at the very beginning of this short video, youll see the moment the excavator hit the gas line.
I had something almost exactly the same happen on one of my remodeling jobs back in Jersey about 15 years ago. The guy who came out to do the markout for the underground stuff somehow missed a high-pressure gas line, and when we were digging the trench for the new foundation - WHAM.
It didn't - thankfully - explode, but it did sound like you were standing next to a jet engine. That was some seriously scary shit. You never seen a 55+ guy (me) run so fuckin' fast in your life...


There’s an old saying that if you’re on a job site and you see the carpenters or the painters running, it’s likely the coffee truck has showed up. If you see the plumbers running, it’s likely might be quitting time. But if you see the electricians or the gas guys running, try to keep up.
ReplyDeleteThat video is fake. Two obvious things give it away.
ReplyDelete1. The debris that lands on top of the neighbor's car just seems to bounce and spin in space.
2. Debris that lands in the street completely disappears like in a video game. In the real world, it comes to a stop and remains in the scene.
When you eat at Taco Bell.
ReplyDeleteVideo is fake. Not sure what happened to my previous post where I explained how you could tell.
ReplyDeleteOk, I see. Approval. Understood. Please delete the irrelevant posts.
ReplyDeleteI am sure if this video is placed on U-tube it will be marked "No One Was Hurt"
