Massive Propane Explosion in Toronto
Posted By Jeff On August 11, 2008 @ 3:23 pm
Sunday morning around 4:00am a giant fire at the Sunrise Industrial Gasses propane depot broke out resulting in an explosion that could be seen for miles, the death of a firefighter and a facility employee being unaccounted for. Reports claim that over 12,000 people were evacuated from their homes surrounding Sunrise due to potential risks of toxic gases being released. Highway 401, not only a nearby highway but the busiest highway in Canada, was also closed for over 12 hours during this time. Cause of this incident has yet to be identified. Some videos contain mature language.

I was about to tell you about Phil, but I see you already have it at the bottom. He does live blog chats at Blogtv (http://www.blogtv.com/people/sxephil) and he won’t talk about what happened. How scary! And all those YouTubers in one place.
