Exploding Roadworks

Luckily it looks like nobody was injured. Impressive how the 4 chamber covers and barrier get launched into the air! Underground gas leak? Burn marks on the telephone cabinet. |

The only conduit explosion I've seen was a developing short in a high voltage cable. BIG bang when it became a full short circuit.
Lots of acrid smoke then BOOM! as in this video. |

That could well be the case. I wondered how they were launched upward however.. The chamber covers looked more launchable to me. Plus they were strewn around afterwards.
I guess the barrier launched upwards too.. but that could have happened if it was over one of the chamber covers at T-minus "0". |

Chamber covers are very heavy, heavier than cab doors anyway. Therefore the pressure from the blast took the path of least resistance, and blew the bloody doors off!
