Hellion Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 :devil I was at one of the coffee houses that I usually frequent,when all of a sudden there was a huge blast,comming from the downtown area.We all went outside to see what had happened.The first explosion shook the whole place and we did not know what was going on.We went outside to see what had happened,then another blast occured.One of the manhole covers shot up in the air about 50 feet!There was also a huge amount of fire after that.The cops closed off the area and then conducted an evacuation of the entire downtown.We were only mayby 200 feet from the explosion,The only thing we heard is that a transformer blew up and ignited sewer gas. Getting out of the city was not fun,hopefully no one was hurt,I will find out more details later.I wish I had a video camera,so I could tape the scene.

Rayne Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 Good to know that fun stuff like this happens around our houses, eh? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It happened last summer/fall near my old house. A plant had an explosion out in Romulus.
