18 tons of gas leaked
Sushant Kumar Singh, DGM (Fire and Safety) of GAIL India Limited, said that due to the collision, 5 nozzles of the tanker broke and 18 tonnes (180 quintals) of gas leaked. This caused such a powerful explosion that the entire area turned into a ball of fire. There was another tanker filled with LPG about 200 meters away from where the tanker exploded. It was fortunate that it did not catch fire.
