There was a massive fire at a propane distribution depot in Downsview early this morning.

The images and video are unbelievable. It's a miracle more people weren't hurt:

A couple youtube videos (this one gets interesting at about the 1:45 mark):

When I heard this story it reminded me of this:

I remeber being in my family room watching the Sabres game and we heard/felt the garage door shake + rattle ansd we lived 15 miles from where the explosin was.

This is an amazing first hand acount of what went on that night from a Buffalo firefighter... a must read
