This is one wild pre-arrival video taken Thursday in Luneville in Lorraine, France at an apartment building closed for renovations. The videographer captured five separate explosions (:10, :14, 1:34, 2:29, 2:34) from two different angles. Despite the misinformation provided with the video description, news reports indicate there were no serious injuries.
There is a good aftermath picture here from estrepublicain.fr and these details translated by Google:
Three of the six gas cylinders stored there then exploded, projecting elements of the building onto the building next door and parallel, called Mars, however, just 30 meters away! A result which had the effect of causing a second accident burning fifteen m 2 of this roof.
Eighty firefighters on the scene
Upon arrival firefighters led by Lieutenant Caudal, the roof of the first building was fully ablaze. After verifying that all tenants had indeed left the scene, the efforts of 80 men rescue centers Luneville, Blainville-Damelevières, and Nancy Gerbéviller consisted of stop and prevent flame spread to other nearby apartment buildings. A real challenge in light wind gusts. September vans, two large scales, a command vehicle, six ambulances and a support unit completed the breathing device, a material point of view. Commander Sauvageot, head of the column, the colonel sign, site manager and regional director of the SDIS (Service county fire and rescue) Colonel Beaudoux have overseen operations.
