'Everyone was panicked': Power box EXPLODES sending 40kg concrete blocks and road barriers flying through the air *** This is the shocking moment a green power box billowed thick black smoke and blew up - shooting 40kg concrete blocks and road barriers into the air. Around 30 homes were left without power and two maintenance vans were damaged after the explosion in Chigwell, Essex, at around 2.45pm on Thursday. Imran Yousaf, 21, watched the drama unfold from his bedroom window and said he feared the huge concrete blocks could have killed someone. Imran said that the box smouldered for about five minutes before blowing up and shooting flames into the air near fearful onlookers. Imran said Virgin Media engineers had been working on Fontayne Avenue just before the blast sent debris flying. Imran claims workmen at the scene shortly after the explosion said they suspected two cores in a cable, which would normally have been insulated, had touched, while someone else suggested there might have been a power surge. | Daily Mail
