Explosion downtown
 
Explosion in downtown Vancouver

VANCOUVER/CKNW(AM980)

An explosion has rocked the intersection of Seymour and Georgia in downtown Vancouver Wednesday morning just before noon.

People walking nearby say they heard a loud bang and a nearby manhole cover blew off, sending black smoke into the sky.

Witnesses say several workers were down in the manhole and at least three were pulled out.

Firefighters on scene stripped down at least one of the workers and hosed him off, his arms black.

He was taken away in an ambulance.

My prayers to the workers in the manhole. I hope they are okay!

Holy shit, I hope everyone's ok. Seems like seymour's infrastructure has been aching for upgrades; this is the second big fuck up in as many years.

Most likely (though this is speculation) a methane buildup combined with poor ventilation and a spark.

Hopefully nobody was hurt too badly.

Yes, Miss Crayon is a dude. I've met him before.


This is like the time in 06 when the same thing happened near the corner of Richards and Dunsmuir. My entire apartment smelled like burnt wiring thanks to that fire.

umm, that's crazy LOL. it says the manhole cover flew off, I wonder how high, and if it hit anyone... at least in the bright side no car was ontop of that manhole when it blew.
