Bodycam footage provided courtesy of the Limestone Police Department shows the nail-biting moment when firefighter Scott Patten was blown clear off his feat by an unexpected explosion while responding to a blaze in Limestone, Maine on Thursday. Scott received first and second degree burns to his face and head due to the explosion but has since been released from hospital, surviving the epic blast to tell his unreal tale.
Video courtesy of Vlad Alexsson and Anna Alekseenko captured the moment when a series of explosions rocked the Russian city of Murmansk, lighting up the sky and cutting power to whole districts of the town. A major blast at the Kolenergo thermal power plant illuminated the night sky over the subarctic city of 300,000 people on Tuesday, causing blackouts and scaring locals right as winter is setting in, with temperatures hovering around 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Workers from EMERCOM, or the Russian Emergency Ministry, responded to the event quickly and were able to bring on reserve generators within an hour, so the blackouts didn't last very long, but the explosions did certainly make for some incredible visuals as thousands of homes were plunged into darkness in the largest city in the world located north of the Arctic Circle. The port city connects north-west Russia to the Arctic Ocean, through which dry goods like coal, oil, and fish are shipped to Europe and Asia. Investigations are ongoing at the site but the cause of the explosions remains unknown at this time
