7 sent to hospital following downtown Youngstown explosion

[@jbeach1964]

Wow! What a shocking event for Youngstown. Given the time of day, was the Chase Bank open at the time of the explosion? It is a miracle that more people were not injured or killed by this!

[@petet968]

The roadworks probably damaged the gas main. The gas pushes through the earth and fills the basement then a pilot light or something sets it off.

[@kristenmarie9248]

The floor is gone, and you can see down into the lower level! 😱😔

[@firetrucksrule07]

Praying for all who where injured and i do hope the 2 uncounted for where found.

[@hulonthesurvivor5884]

Great reporting. What happened to the cash?? Gold?? Safe deposit boxes?!

[@ShadowsandCityLights]

Most banks don't hold much of anything physical anymore. Most of the cash/gold was probably in the teller areas, which looks completely destroyed.

[@paulwaddell2854]

I worked in a steel mill we had a safety program called lock out tag out. Clearly this was not a program followed there or they would had locked out that gas to make sure it wasnt active

What's up with these "gas" explosions in first floor businesses?... wasn't there one just a few weeks ago?

[@A6Legit]

Please fill me in if you've heard of others. I'm aware of Fort Worth in January. I am extremely skeptical that these are "accidents".

@@milmil6594 The story I saw said the workers thought the gas was cut off so they cut into a pipe. When realized their mistake they immediately pulled the fire alarm. One lady and her baby left during the alarm and had just made it out the door when it exploded. Another young man was inside the stairwell, but his Mom said he was only cut up a little bit.

[@StagArmslower]

why there is no fire if it was a gas leak

[@VoidHalo]

Because mortar and concrete aren't flammable, and real life explosions have very little fire. They're not like hollywood explosions, which are mostly diesel fuel being atomized and ignited. All an explosion is is hot gasses expanding faster than sound. Slower than sound is a deflagration. In either case, fire is not a requirement, or even present. The heat COULD set fire to things. But the explosion itself is not firey in the least bit. So, there were numerous factors at play as to why it didn't cause a fire.

[@Adplusamequalsadam]

A gas explosion is characterised by the fact that the fire that caused the explosion is dampened at the moment of the explosion. This means that, as a rule, there is no fire after a gas explosion.

[@wateringthefate3890]

Bank and reality? Yeah That sums it up the fact for me.

All the news station do this, they never mention the State, they probably assume only their State watches their videos. Whenever I watch a news clip of any kind, there is never a mention of the State! It's quiet annoying. Not everyone knows every single city of the U.S.

[@mccorkle6219]

Makes me think back to the time we was staying at a hotel in florida and the fire alarms started going off. We evacuated and went and sat in our car since we had pajamas on. Anyways I could see the several windows and people were still in their rooms looking out like whats going on. Same situation a gas leak but luckily no explosion. No way would I risk my life nor my childrens lives. Regardless of fire if an alarm is going in there is a reason.... Just get out! Very surprised this didnt kill more than one person. Glad that most people were able to exit safetly.
