LPG cylinder leak triggers massive blast, man and woman narrowly escape in viral video. Watch
A woman and man narrowly escaped an LPG blast caught on CCTV after a gas leak triggered a fire.
In a terrifying incident captured on CCTV, a man and a woman narrowly escaped a massive fire that erupted in a house following an LPG gas leak. The clip, which has since gone viral on social media, shows the duo attempting to fix the leak moments before a fiery explosion engulfs the room.
Though the exact location of the incident remains unknown, timestamps on the footage suggest it occurred on Wednesday, June 18, around 3 pm.
Desperate attempt to contain the leak
The video shows a red LPG cylinder lying on the kitchen floor, with gas visibly leaking from its pipe. A middle-aged woman is first seen struggling to control the situation. Unable to stop the heavy leak, she rushes out to seek help.
Moments later, she returns with a man, and the two enter from separate doors, attempting to shut the gas valve. However, the gas had already saturated the air in the room, creating a volatile environment.
Flames erupt in seconds
As the pair work frantically near the cylinder, a sudden explosion erupts, originating from the kitchen stove. Flames shoot out instantly, engulfing the entire room in a fiery blaze. Fortunately, the woman had kept all doors and windows open—an act that likely saved their lives by allowing much of the gas to escape and minimising the impact.
