Footage taken a day following the Durham gas leak explosion shows the collapsed building spilling out onto the sidewalk and neighboring buildings.

The footage was taken by a nearby resident today (April 11) who said that: "surrounding roads are blocked off by police."

According to local news reports, workers used heavy-duty backpack blowers to clear debris on the ground during the clean-up operation.

Durham police spokesman Wil Glenn said the blast occurred just after 10am yesterday after a contractor boring under the sidewalk hit a 2-inch gas line.

Yesterday (4/10/19) there was a gas leak explosion in Durham, North Carolina, USA that killed the owner of the on-location coffee shop, injured a firefighter, and more than a dozen more people. This footage is exactly one day later while surrounding roads are blocked off by police. I live in the area and climbed to the top of our parking garage to get the best vantage point to the public - yet this view is only open to residents of our complex who have a key.
