South African authorities did not give a cause for the explosion in Johannesburg’s central business district but warned people to stay away from the area. Reports suggest that one person was killed with dozens of others injured.

He did a Donald .
GAS LINE ?
Let’s just walk all over it .
the underworld is starting to escape
sewer line filled with methane …
Something happened.
Nothing to see here……..crawl away as best you can with your broken leg.
the demon ETRIGAN is breaking out of his prison!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sewer gas?
Tripods or tremors is my guess.
Looks like a gas line blew. Given the location and how the concrete split in a relatively straight line.
Yeah
@kenofken Yeah could’ve been a sewage line too. If it were packed with sediment the water would’ve boiled to the surface after the initial burst like that. Looks like clean water though so it may be tap we are seeing and not the sewage.
Or a bomb.
@Rolå No. Go study some physics qanon.
Gas line blew yes
You only see them run and scatter like that in US when one starts shooting.
HULK SMASH!!!
South Africans apparently know how to hold a cell phone horizontally and record video, unlike many Americans submitting recordings to news outlets.
Comment of the day! 👍
God forbid you don’t get to see your daily carnage perfectly.
CCtv
Except it is not a cell phone video. 🤪😜

i didn’t know satan can order taco bell with doordash

Gas line explosion maybe? There’s a fissure in the middle of the road so something exploded underneath
looks like it.
Looks like maybe a gas line
Somebody hit the POW block
They eat lots a beans in Africa ,they have too much gas 🤣😂
Ironman fighting the hulk….again
Far out, man 😮
Backing Russia is just another step to the total collapse of South Africa. It’ll be third world very soon.
Glad no one got hit by a flying bus… Sewer gas, somebody lit a smoke.
Terrorist attack
Methane gas
Chinese made gas lines. Wonder how much the Chinese will charge to fix it since S Africa handed over the nation to China for some fancy cars and a big house.
speechless. that van missed the guy in the foreground by inches.
You are embarassing us as South Africans, shut up and go to bed.
Correct💯
@mixindabox I am South African, and black..and black people I know, do know it’s a minibus….
@ShaqlaToine 🤦🏾♂️🤨
There is footage elsewhere of a whole row of taxis jumping in the air to the side. Incredible.
Whoa!
Gas leak
Sewer?
In SA, that’s not a mistake! What is the national/provincial trying to do/prove to the municipality???
🫨🫥
Putin’s Job
Omg that’s crazy I pray everyone is ok
One dead after a vehicle landed on him…
It’s a pipe.
Holy christ 😮
Puting forgot to regulate the gas flow😂😂
You wanna tell that to the parents of the 2 year old kid that died during the explosion
❤they had a blast at a block party
That’s either a natural gas supply line or a sewer methane gas explosion.
Its the US and the West. They want to disrupt the BRICS summitm these devils
Looks like Zimbabwe
Kereta melompat seperti katak😮
Decolonisation ?
America is that you?
Geez, that guy in the white top escaped death/ serious injury my millimeters
😢😢😢😢😢 I’m afraid
When I saw that my heart ached a lot..I remembered my family and my little daughter who died in 2018 in a gas explosion inside the kitchen 😭
Little Lara rest in peace 🙏🥀
😢 oh no.. I am so sorry 😭
I’m so sorry, may you find comfort
😮
💔💔💔
Scary😮 hope no one died
One recorded death 48 injured
Lucky it’s on the street and not under a building. Hope everyone is alright.
1 person from a neighbouring country died, 40 injured.
Is USA fears Brics?
I have a suspicion its Methane gas in the sewer lines…….

As someone else pointed out, this is footage from a security camera. Not a cell phone come on 😅😅😅😅
It happens after SA threatened Putin not to come to SA or he’ll be arrested
Possible gas/sewage (gas caused) explosion then see guy at 1:03 casually smoking a cigarette
Thanks Mr Lester Holt for covering South African news so well
Not much mystery, looks like a pretty obvious high energy line break event. The straight line nature of the event let’s you know it was some sort of line rupture at any rate
Waheguru waheguru waheguru waheguru waheguru waheguru waheguru waheguru
Control demolishion.
Let’s just say “AMEN” because we know that van couls have landed right on that man. I hope no one was hurt x
Watch out when a man hole explodes
the Lord saved that man by the bus, he would have been killed instantly
WORLD IS CONTROLLED BY KNOWING WHO MADE YOU THE LORD AND CONNECT TO HIM BY DOING THIS HE WILL BRING FOOD FOR ALL WHO HUNGER BRING RAIN TO YOUR FARMS START BY SEEDS UNTIL YOUR COUNTRY IS RECOVERED. YOUR GOVERNMENTS WILL OPERATE GIVE AFRICA HOUSING TO THE BLACK PEOPLE. BRING BUSINESS JOBS INTO YOUR CITIES AND VILLAGES. YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE LORD DELIBERATELY REMOVED THE GOOD LIVING BECAUSE YOU DONT KNOW HIM. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS YOU CONNECT TO HIM WILL TAKE CARE OF HIS PEOPLE HE MADE THE BLACKS.
THE LORD SAT NEXT TO GOD ETERNITY WORKING TO MAKE THE PLANETS. GOD TOOK ONE SIDE AND LORD TOOK THE OTHER UNTIL PLANET MADE. GOD CREATED FOR THE PEOPLE PROVIDED AND THE LORD DID THE SAME WITHOUT KNOWING HIM . HEARING FROM PEOPLE ONE NAME GOD BUT NOT THE LORD NEXT TO GOD. SO LORD FELL OUT OF HEAVEN TO MAKE IS OWN MARK ANGERED UNKNOWN DESERTED AS MANY BLACK PEOPLE HE DID FOR THAT REASON. WHAT LORD MADE HIMSELF HE MADE THE BLACK PEOPLE FOR REVENGE
FOOD WILL COME THROUGH THIS RELIGION
BLACK PEOPLES LIVES WAS HARSH BECAUSE U DIDNT KNOW WHO MADE YOU YOUR MAKER HE IS THE LORD THE SAINT. HIS HOME IS IN SYNAGOGUES ON SATURDAY PRAY TO HIM AND HE WILL RELEASE THE NEGATIVES REPAIR THE GOVERNMENTS IN AFRICA AND ALL BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS START BUILDING YOUR LIVES AS U WANT. JEWISH ENTIRE GOSPEL WORKS AS ALL PROPHETS JEWISH FLEET OF PROPHETS SENT THE FIRST RELIGION. RELIGION WORKS HAS TO BE IN ORDER NOT MESSY MANY RELIGIONS GOING IN ALL DIRECTIONS EXCEPT TO THE LORD WAITING TO BE CONNECTED TO YOU
JEWISH BIBLE SILVER CROSS CHRIST THE LORD WILL BRING THE RAIN. WHILE BUILDING NEW ECONOMY START WITH SEEDS FARMING
HIS PEOPLE DID NOT KNOW HIM AND PRAYED DIRECTLY FOLLOW INSTRUCTION HE WILL MAKE AFRICA PROSPEROUS FULLFILL AFRICA DEMANDS IN LIVING YOU WANT
All that mining probably had something to do with it🥹
