Propane depot explosion in Toronto

Last night, a propane depot exploded in Toronto. Just thought you guys might find it interesting to see. Apparently there have been no fatalities, but I'm not sure how many injuries.

Update: One firefigher was killed. 12000 were evacuated, many of which are temporarily set up at York University.

Yeah that is nuts for sure. I couldn't drive anywhere today. The 401 is the artery of this city.

I wonder how many people thought we were being attacked or something.

They also evacuated one of the biggest malls in Toronto, so I couldn't see Pineapple Express . I absolutely cannot believe how big that explosion gets at 1:50.
