Saw the video of this, I hope everyone's okay, the BBC says that no civilians were seriously injured thankfully, although a firefighter unfortunately had a heart attack...

I must admit, the first thing that popped into my head was "silly Wall-e, Bhangra Blast wasn't ever in Toronto"

I think it happened in the Keele and Wilson area close to York University. It was something more isolated, but I think the frustration has been with the Toronto Police and them not giving a timetable when people can move back into their homes.

The emergency response team in Toronto needs to get better. People were awaken from their homes, telling them there was an explosion and there may be more, get out of the house. They left their pets and other belongings at home, which they havent been able to get back to.

It shut down Canada's biggest highway for like 13 hours, so other than traffic and those people close to the blast, people were not that affected, thankfully.

OHHH, by the way, apparently the stations didnt have zoning permission to have a station there, without consent of the York regional district. But there are loop holes to get through that.

I didn't witness this, but like Summy said, Canada's Bigest highway was shut down, which made everyone aware of what happened. Everyone travelling on that highway was late... not a good day for people using the 401 and 400.

Get out of here. I didn't even know it had happened and I go to York lol. But yeh i heard abt the traffic along the 401 and 400 so now it makes sense. I doubt anyone in our bhangra community has felt the effects most of us live a good 25-30mins from that area
