A explosion was caught on camera
Chennai:
In a narrow escape for workers involved in road construction on a highway in Tamil Nadu’s Salem, a cylinder kept in a truck exploded, triggering panic among commuters.
The explosion took place Thursday evening while a four-lane highway was being constructed in Chinnappampatti, in which cylinders were being used to draw white lines on the road.
A video of the incident first shows a small fire breaking out in a truck.
A man is then seen trying to put out the blaze using water in a bucket.
However, seconds later, the truck exploded due to the cylinder blast, sending a huge fireball.
The 18-second video also shows debris from the shattered vehicle landing on the road.
Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident.
