Propane station explosion in Toronto, August 10, 2008

Propane station explosion in Toronto, August 10, 2008. At the end of Gilley Road.

 

These were taken from the north east of the blast, at around 4:30am. There was a very loud sound of gas excaping almost like a jet engine starting. Tanks were still exploding every minute and I could clearly see large pieces of glowing red tanker flying 100 feet or more and landing in the lot and buildings to the north. Looking at these pictures I wonder if perhaps I was too close.
