Stunning Footage of Toronto Blast

By Mike Nizza

When The Toronto Star reported that a propane fire within city limits on Sunday had claimed "just two lives," it was not trying to minimize the tragedy, of course. Instead, the newspaper was nodding to the truly jaw-dropping size of the explosion, which sent enormous fireballs into the sky at 4 a.m. local time. Luckily, there was time to evacuate thousands of residents before the blast, which left behind a lot of damage, though its still unclear precisely how much. "There's a lot of dusting to do," the Star said.

At the moment, the most popular video on YouTube shows the surreal scene.
