[GiGaMoG]

It's like witnessing a atomic explosion, man!

If you were any closer it would be really bad.

[joli882]

Holy shit...

[jacklynleungg]

[ItsAShads]

Oh god, the last couple seconds are incredible. Amazing footage, and glad you weren't hurt from that shockwave :X

[derekf666]

I live on Keele just south of the 401.....and it woke me up, shook my apartment. My sympathy goes out to the family of the Fire Fighter who died.

[tasteslikemunchies]

holy crap!did you see that shockwave!are you ok?

[justinderoin]

[shlyniee]

I think you were standing a bit too close.

[kevgraham]

[alexx2019]

[Shagwell69Powers]

Holy crap, that was the scariest and worst experience of my life, I lived close to the explosion, thank god i wasnt at home then, did you know people could see it from Niagara on the lake?

[blackghost10sg]

r u serious? Niagara? lol! no way.

[Niko9876]

lmfao wow I am in Thorold. tht is fcked, the energy given off is amazing.

[christinemae1995]

what caused the explosion?

[p0giboi]

a gas tank

[M1r92]

Damn, if you only recorded a minute later with sound, this vid would've been featured.

[DjTironci]

is not that man, its the file wich youtube dont accept it, its a cellphone file i have the original video and you hear the big blast

[blitheringbrooks]

Please please please PLEASE find a way to convert from the filetype that your video phone creates to an MPG or AVI videofile. Then youtube will accept it. Do a google search for the filename (.???) that you have with the word "converter" and you should be fine. I would LOVE to hear the sound along with that video!!

[jacklynleungg]

AGREE AGREE

[blitheringbrooks]

I wish we'd have gotten sound and a few more seconds - I wonder if the camera just stopped filming at that point because of the blast?

[hillcrestG]

this is nuts!

[StarvinMarvin0728]

holy fuk dud u must have shit urself

[dew8880]

help save net neutrality!!!!!! virgin media is treatening it!

[iraqidolphin]

I live 2km away. I thought we were being bombed because of the nearby old Downsview Air Force Base. Still lots of old military housing nearby and reserves.

[leonred88]

stolen clip from cloverfield!!

[DjTironci]

Wtf, are you trying to say?

[jamesthegreat117]

ROFL!!!!!

[saskabush2006]

That's not from Cloverfield - although all the clips i'm seeing really do resemble the movie! The explosion here seems to match the one shown on one of the other tapes, though one wonders if the cameraperson managed to avoid being injured.

[xaviital]

I witnessed this exact explosion from my window. It is definately not from Cloverfield haha. When I saw the first explosion the first thing that DID pop into my head was Cloverfeild. Wow that movie does have an impact. It's pretty scary witnessing something so close.

[darkwrld]

are you dumb?

[darkwrld]

message was pointed at leonred88

[adonist7]

lmao shittt.. hope you didnt get hurt!

supposedly this thing could be seen from niagra falls (thats what they said on CP24 lmao)

[kevinbollers2]

lol really from niagra falls! then how come i didnt see it?

[mapleleafsforever]

A bit too close. How long till Toronto Police before ordered you out of the area ?

[DjTironci]

im not sure what police station is near keele n 401 so i belive they were there on scene in minutes, plus fire trucks were there from all directions north/south/west/east

[mapleleafsforever]

Its would be 31 Division.

[DjTironci]

i think you were 1 of the closes psrson and 1 of first person to witness the explosion, even cp24 mention you :D did i mention your video was the first on scene.

[PwndTastic]

damn!!!

[animefangoku]

did your hand holding the camera get burned or your face, a friend who worked near the explosion said he got sort of minor burns, like sun-burn, in the two seconds of the burst

[guest58]

holy shit... whent throw ur mind at the tym?.. and after?

[carlosfrm]

amazing

[tdc310]

the blast !!!

[cristo5]

Wow! You can actually see the blast wave! Jebus, how close were you to the scene?

[adonist7]

hah thats insane footage!

did it actualy throw you on the ground? thats intense..

[UsocRelamee]

That looks pretty close. Did you get any burns?

[zzentityzz]

Thanks for your vid...The blast wave must have been incredible.

Five and Fav!

[DarknessTear]

Awesome video. I bet it scared the shit out of you. D: lol

[animefangoku]

[gdh2006uk]

Fuck that I would not forget that either....
