Gas leak causes explosion in home with family inside

The shocking scene, captured on video, has left viewers in disbelief at how quickly the situation escalated.

According to the footage that was shared by wall_of_fact on Facebook and Instagram on June 23 2025, a gas cylinder had been left lying on the floor, releasing gas uncontrollably into the home. The fumes filled the air as a woman entered the house, seemingly unaware of the extreme danger. She appeared to attempt to close the gas valve, but before she could, an explosion erupted.

The blast sent flames ripping through the home, with thick smoke filling the space. In the chaos, the woman was seen sprinting out of the house to safety as she was in panic. Another person who had reportedly been inside at the time was not seen in the clip after the explosion, raising concerns about their safety and whereabouts.

According to wall_of_fact, they were fortunate that all doors and windows were open, allowing much of the gas to escape outdoors, significantly reducing the explosion's impact. At the time of publication, it was unclear whether any injuries had been sustained in the incident, and the location of the incident has not been confirmed.

How to keep yourself safe from gas

It is important to note the dangers of gas leaks, and many households are urged to ensure cylinders are stored upright, checked regularly for damage, and never left unattended while open.

According to Arrivealive Mobi, when moving into a new home, ensure appliances are checked for gas safety by a registered person and obtain necessary certificates. Use appliances only for their intended usage, avoid letting children play near natural gas appliances, and follow legislative requirements.

Keep areas around appliances clean and unobstructed for proper airflow. Purchase LPG cylinders from authorised franchisees, check for seal and safety cap, and store in an upright position. Ensure that at least one multipurpose fire extinguisher is available and share gas safety tips regularly with family members.
