I mean, look at the damage it caused to the whole block. People reported feeling the blast all the way in NJ. That’s wild. One minute you’re sleeping in your bed, next thing you know you end up on the ground in your boxers like the guy at the end there. Shout out to the neighbors and first responders. One dude was still dressed in what he wore out to the bar, helping move debris.
A 3 a.m. Wawa trip almost killed this dude:
