A witness who was in the room when the explosion happened said? When the explosion happened, I was eating while watching TV with my six-year-old child. The wall behind the TV suddenly began to collapse, making a loud noise. We rushed out, and the wall and part of the ceiling finally collapsed, but I didn't see it with my own eyes. I just saw a hole suddenly appear on the wall and began to collapse. There is smoke everywhere. My neighbor opened the door with a key. He took the key to my house and shouted, come out, come out. At first, I thought it was a bomb. ?
