Interview Interrupted by Explosion and Flying Manhole Cover

A reporter for NBC affiliate WGRZ was interviewing a witness about an electrical fire under a road in Buffalo, New York when an explosion took everyone by surprise. Footage shows a manhole flying high into the sky directly behind the witness.

The cause of the fire is yet to be determined but it’s believed the explosions were probably caused by a buildup of heat, gas and smoke in the confined space underneath the road.
