Chinese media is reporting that a massive explosion took place this weekend, in Yuanling, Hunan province, China, killing a total of five people. The accident explosion occurred after a tanker, carrying LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) tipped over, then burst into flames.
The explosion was so violent, that in the footage shown below, even the shockwave is visible, a fraction of a second before the actual blast. Two people were killed in the incident, yet another three firemen who were tending to the fire also lost their lives. To give you an idea, reports say that the blast itself was so powerful, that it uprooted trees, and instantly destroyed a number of cars and fire trucks present at the scene.
Also, according to Beijing Cream, this is not the first incident of this kind to happen recently in the PRC, as last Wednesday three men were seen running for their lives, as another truck exploded behind them.
