Aug. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Thousands of north Toronto residents were told they would gradually be allowed to return to their homes last night, hours after being evacuated following a series of large explosions at a propane depot.

The explosions sent huge fireballs billowing into the early-morning sky yesterday, flames that could be seen as far as 30 kilometers (18 miles) away. One firefighter, identified as Bob Leek, 55, a district chief of emergency planning, died at the scene of the six-alarm blaze that followed the blasts. An employee of the depot operator, Sunrise Propane Industrial Gases, was missing last night.

That first vid, why the stupid commentary? The person acts like she's in danger or something from a mile away. Shut up.

Phil, can't agree more with you. She's further than a mile, more like 5 miles.
