Video shows fiery explosion during deadly blaze in Buffalo, New York
#Buffalo #CaughtOnCamera #NBCNews
Interesting how the person walking the dog didn’t look at all disturbed! Most people would’ve been running away from the explosion not towards it.
Yeah. Is this real bystander footage ?!
Rest in peace to Jason Arno. And my condolences to the family, and his brothers at Engine 2. 🫡
Buffalo must be on a hellmouth because they cant catch a break. The mass shooting, the winter storm where lots of people died, Bills player had cardiac arrest, amongst other things
Do you think he’ll retire from football? I’m not sure if I would take the risk, with his whole life ahead of him.
Praying for the family He’s a Hero
Survival of the fittest
Because some people can survive inside a fiery blaze as a powerful explosion occurs just a few yards away, right?
Heroes
What TH is wrong with the people?? standing right in front of an exploding building with absolute calm 🤦🏻
Woww! That first clip I had not seen before! You can see the force of the flashover just roll the debris right over those firemen from this vantage point! May I ask what those other stupid non-essential gawkers are doing so close to something like that? My condolences to the deceased fireman’s family…
Wow a life lost and it was a firefighter, can we all please pray for this fireman and his family for the ultimate sacrifice
Condolences to the firefighter’s family. A true hero! May he rest in peace.
Love how the people stand so close and barely move. Smh some people really have no common sense.
The real heros…..
What isssss goin on😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
These ppl run towards fire… GD Hero’s every last on of them! RIP
It amazes me how now days people like to stand and watch. A gas explosion or anything could happen and your standing that close looking 😒
The world could end and there’d always be someone just *staring* at their phone.
🛑🔥🤳🏻💥⚠️
Look at those numskulls.
It must be gas pipe 😳😳😳
NPCs bro. We’re doomed.
Wild hope all are well
These are real heros. Better than any “cop”
Whatever happens, no matter how bad. Don’t help anyone just make sure you’re phones out….
Yes…🙄
Why are people watching from so close to a blazing FIRE?!
Yes, I’m wondering the same. How did they walk down that street PAST the flames first ? What direction did they traverse down Main street from ? Where were they coming from to be so closely positioned to that disaster ?
The people standing around look so unphased. That one guy looked away at his phone during the explosion.
These pedestrians just standing there to watch really need some consciousness ….. Whatever .
So, what are this next generation of watchers watching the watchers….?
Hmmm.
00:02
Look how nonchalant these pedestrians are
Shallow individuals
God strength to the firefighters 🚒
From west Africa
🦅
Agreed. I’m just glad there’s a lot of us in the comments that are disturbed by them. Still anyway.
If I didn’t know better. I would think I was watching Station 19.
A hero died that day. Most don’t think about them until we need them. RIP and much love and prayers for his family.
This is off topic but could you give me random ideas of vids to make for my new yt channel? I’m an indecisive person and your help would be greatly appreciated😁 I’m excited to do what you say 😂
Wow I can’t believe how these bystanders jumped in so quickly to help
God Bless Firefighters. May his soul rest in peace. 😌🙏🏽❤️👨🏻🚒🌟🕊
People are funny instead of running away americans
My condolences
How did this fire even happen?
What was the cause of this fire?
Just curious if the fire was that intense why was he in there.
Sad to hear this to my troop. Condolence from Philippines
“And if, according to my fate, I am to lose my life;
Please bless with your protecting hand my children and my wife”
🤲😥 omg, the firefighters 💔💔💔
Que horror
What a beautiful scene
Why is everyone standing around? 🤔
When you live in a big city
. Just get use to trauma .. just true
Condolences to the fire fighter. I have more respect for fire fighters than police officers.
I honestly thought this was from a movie set because people were just standing around so casually. Idiots.
Hope none my relatives were in it
Look at those goofballs, casually standing waaaaay too close to a raging inferno
Biden’s Build Back Better 🤣
Biden’s America
So, you’re weak opportunist? Could you be more irrelevant in a post?
Why are those idiots just casually walking around. So sorry to hear about the loss but people just seem so ignorant being that close to a buidling basically exploding.
Apparently our infrastructure bill isn’t worh a s***
R.I.P. Thank you for your service. ❤
Fire men and women are real heroes. RIP
Thnk you heros
Send all your money to Zelenski regime!
WORLDSMASTEROFSPIRITSKNIGHTS OF CHRIST TM* LOOKED LIKE A BACKDRAFE
¿¿Why the firefighters Park their truck so close ???
Firefighters do not get the recognition or the salary that they fully deserve. Every day on duty they know that it could be their last, yet they still show so much bravery trying to protect the public from harm. 🙏❤️
It’s honestly not their fault, but the carelessness and Casually walking and looking at your phone seems very, IDK, nonchalant. It bugs me.
They knew there were no people or animals in the store. Who sent him inside?
Feminists: “We don’t need men”.
Meanwhile, men:
And the man just stands there texting. “A scene from 2023.” 💔 Apathy will destroy us all. 💔
😔💔
How stupid can people be standing that close to something that’s going to explode my goodness. It’s called a fire people
Wow! Sad! My condolences to those affected. Why are people standing so close watching this! This is nuts!
Maybe you idiots should back up a little huh?
People have seemingly lost their innate self preservation instinct, and I find that really strange
Backdraft.
Sometimes I think most people in the US are so dumb, and they couldn’t even move to or an attempt to help the fire fighter after seing them being knocked out on the floor, atleast at least
My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the innocent victims caught up in this tradegy I shed a tear for each and every one of them sending love from the UK🇬🇧🇺🇸❤️😢
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So, you’re disfuntional?
Just asking?
🚀i’ts nuke from China😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
KARMA 😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝
Grow up
Karma
Dude w the backpack: Oops, not today Satan
RIP
Why tf were people just standing there and so close!?! 😳 omg 🤦🏾♀️ my condolences to the loved ones of the fallen firefighter 🙏🏾
Why are they just standing there?
Spectators are irritating
People on. Their efn phone s guys dying and the world just watches on their phones what a messed up world. Watch people die but nobody helps.
Last thing im going to do is stand that close to it.
I love how dude with the backpack just casually walks away after the explosion ☠️
Se vedete tutti stanno con il telefono in mano a filmare o a fregarsene.. non va bene.. le più sincere condoglianze
Where’s Spiderman when you need him?
Buffalo just can’t get a break.
Wow unbelievable
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😔
Some people have no emphaty…
It is not a normal explosion, but it is a special operation democratic explosion.
Unreal 🙏😞
blame arab and get some oil 🛢
Like a fire and a big explosion happens, and guy in front wearing backpack keeps texting….? I’m sincerely hoping he was texting 911, if that’s a thing in Buffalo
Ohhhh , another accident 🤔
Omg 😪 poor fireman 🕊
Rip 😢
💔💔My heart broke down,omg ,so sad ,my salute and respect to this awesome firefighter, this is riskiest and most underrated job in this world , I don’t comprehend why people do fire fighter job
There were 2 backdrafts, collaspe and they could not go in right away to save trapped firefighter after collapse
So Are We Secretly At War Or What 🤔🤨
This shows how dangerous flash overs are.The poor guy.I hope it was fast.
The fire was intentional. There are alot of abandoned store fronts and properties in downtown Buffalo and the only way to revitalize the city is by burning down the old.
