Footage shared Sunday shows the moment a home exploded in San Francisco’s Sunset District on Thursday.
Video of the explosion was shared online by CBS News shows the moment the frontage of the large, detached property blasted into the street. Fire can be seen emanating from the explosion, as well as various household objects like doors and furniture coating the sidewalk in the seconds after.
Green and white debris then fell from the sky as car alarms echoed through the street. The force of the explosion was so strong that the rear passenger door of a Prius parked just a few feet away was blown open, but the driver appeared to exit the vehicle unharmed.
