A company that had to make a repair broke a main gas pipe and generated a strong explosion, followed by a fire, in the Buenos Aires town of San Martín. Workers damaged the pipe with a backhoe. There are injured people, who were taken to the hospital. But firefighters continue working at the scene.
The neighbors were the ones who alerted about the loud explosion that was heard at the intersection of Aguer and Reconquista streets, in Villa Ballester, by a private company that used a backhoe that broke a gas master pipe. The explosion caused a fire on a sidewalk and two people were injured as a result.
“One of the main victims of the incident revealed that it was a private company that was working at the site when by mistake the machine broke a main pipe and an explosion was generated that affected a large part of the block.” The company broke up half the street and at 12 noon my whole house blew up. It was crazy, a horror movie. There is a neighbor who jumped from the first floor. There are dogs and cats inside. The one who did this escaped, he blew up my entire house,” said the young man.
