Huge Natural Gas Explosion Across Highway 77 in Sissonville West Virginia

Huge high-pressure gas explosion across highway 77 in West Virginia.
We were driving down 77 we saw a huge flock of birds fly from the forest followed by a huge dust cloud which suddenly excited into a huge 1000 foot explosion.

Yea that would have been worst case scenario. If that gas wouldnt have ignited when it did the explosion would have been massive.

Yup, once it gets an ignition source either you say "lord here I come or be as far as you can be because that much gas going off you are going to burn for sure.

To be fair, I was on a high profile job, and we had the road closures, police multiple fire trucks, our trucks were parked whilly nilly but they serviced a purpose for the time, Once the leak was repaired, instantly all the fire trucks and police leave at the same time, but you are now working frantically to finish up, and you pop your head out of the hole and see all the cars driving by and you realize that you did not put any cones out or traffic control out and your large truck in the oncoming lane facing forward and a 45 degrees blocking two lanes and people are honking and yelling at you for being an idiot. So yeah we had a big safety meeting about that one.

Wow. You know the fire is massive and intense when it sounds like a roar.

[@firesoldier343]

+Black Onyx The roar is coming from the broken gas line that was feeding the fire, so it essentially was a gigantic flame thrower.

[@ix-_grimreaper9493]

[@nealramsey4439]

I was a few miles away when it exploded and it was loud as hell. I was working at a cell tower and got out to see if I hit something. The jet engine sound was loud as well. The ground looked like a giant road flare had been placed there. it's amazing that no one was killed because it burned a few houses. Apparently one person was usually home but had just left when it burnt their house.

[@nealramsey4439]

It ruined the roadway as well.

[@devenbaker563]

*Chh chh chh... Chh chh* i dont know i cant make the sound affect you get the point

[@nimarus3118]

Happened not too far from where I live. An industrial gas line burst. The roar is from the pressurized gas blasting out of the ruptured pipe. Aftermath was that the section of highway that went through that fire was completely destroyed. The asphalt was basically burned down to the small agrigate bits of rock and all the tar was burned away. The affected section had to be torn out and replaced with fresh asphalt.

[@jacobb7608]

When I was little, a truck backed into the head of a large underground propane tank next door and broke the head off of the tank. The propane miraculously never ignited but the sound of the gas rushing out was the loudest thing I've ever heard. I was outside at the time and it was deafening, and sounded like I was standing next to a fighter jet. It went on for 30 minutes, and all the fire dept could do was spray everything down with water to reduce ignition sources.

[@jaguars004]

Real life Truman show right there

[@Aarononhiswaytoviews]

Dylon Desbiens don't get it

[@Lrix]

The Truman Show was a movie that came out in 1998, which follows Truman, who at birth was adopted by a TV studio, or the head of a TV studio (can't remember) and build a city and whole life for Truman. There were hidden cameras all around his house, his parents where actors, his best friend an actor. His wife was a plot point written in, and basically was forced on to Truman unknowing that she too, is an actor. Truman, who has a major fear of water, lives on this set, surrounded by water. He needs to cross a bridge to get out of town and never has because of his fear. Eventually he gets suspicious of the legitimacy of everything and decides to leave town and go on a spontaneous vacation. Obviously the creators only have the town as a set, and nothing else planned so they need ideas to prevent Truman from going further. One of which is a "forest fire" which blocks the road and Truman drives right through. You should check it out, it's actually a really good movie, and Jim Carry plays Truman.

I was 4th year Sissonville Elementary school when this happened. At first, all of our teachers told us a plane had crashed and our power went out. They did not let us leave the school for fear of chemicals. The news reporter thought that the nursing house( which was only about a 1/2 a mile away) was on fire as well. I remember driving into Sissonville a few days later and looking at the burned roads and scorched siding on houses. That God there were no losses!

Word of advice, if you can feel the heat, you are too close.

[@gpmcd1044]

@@olgasolovjova4681 I’m just conveying what a fire fighter friend told me. You heard them say in the video that they could feel the heat, yet they also mentioned wanting to go closer. Bad idea, especially in a case like this.

[@olgasolovjova4681]

@@gpmcd1044 thats why fire mens have fire resistant jackets that can stand the distance were you would normaly get a third degree burn because firemens go to a burning building that has tempitures rising up to 400°C witch can vaporise blood instantly or worse if no oxegen tank because the air is very hot and any parts of the body exposed to air would turn into charcoal and so firemens are trained to gear up fast and properly otherwise everything would be charcoal

Those pipelines carry liquid that can have huge expansion ratios. Propane, for instance, 270:1. 1 gallon of liquid turns into 270 gallons of vapor. It sucks, but it just takes a long time to burn off. I have been on two pipeline ruptures in my 27 year career with the fire department. Stay safe.

it was a 26-30 inch natural gas pipeline . 1 house was totally destroyed. the interstate was completely melted . nothing but base material was left. the state had it rebuilt in 24 hrs. there was no way to go around it also.

The roar is insane. Sounds like a turbo jet. I'm surprised it didn't spread more than it did. Pretty cool video for real.

Yep. When a natural gas pipeline breaks, you have to wait for someone in a warehouse two states away to notice the little blinking light so they can shut it off.

Hey Chris! I just stumbled upon this video and was surprised I haven't seen it before, what a wild moment... I'd like to ask permission to feature this clip in a future video of mine! You'd get credit both on screen, and a link in the description! Let me know, and thank you :)

*I THINK IT'S A FOREST FIRE!?* mfw the flames are like 200 feet up

That is one pissed dragon :D

One commenter said “you only live once”. Damn straight! Great camera work, friend.

[@conspiraciesarejustgreatst2059]

The sound of that fire is incredible. Crazy what natural gas can do. I wonder how close people could get before burning themselves from the radiant heat

[@joecool4656]

I imagine you really could not get close. I have had 5 foot flame bonfires 2in diameter in my backyard and I had to stand way back

[@scr34m1ng4]

3:01 oh thank god the police are here

[@sapphire_moon781]

OH NO. This looks like a forest fire... not good. 😣 {I know it's a gas explosion..} I hope firefighters are okay...

I was actually at the Call Road intersection dealing with traffic when this happened.
