A horrifying video is doing rounds on social media, showing the exact moment of fire incident which was triggered by a blast at a firecracker factory in Madhya Pradesh's Harda district. The video captures the impact of the blast with what appears to be a body being tossed around 150-feet in the air. The scary video is going viral. Another clip showing stones flying up to a distance of one kilometer due to the force of the explosion is also widely circulated.
In the first video, loud noise of multiple explosions is heard and clouds of smoke are seen billowing from the spot where the firecracker factory is located in Harda. The video is recorded from a far distance, yet the scary sound of the blasts is very clear. An object, allegedly a body, is also seen being flung in the air for about 150 feet. The FPJ could not verify if the object is a human body.
The second video captures the chaos that had unfolded in the area after the blast. In the video, people on foot and vehicles are seen rushing away from the spot as the blast throws small stones like bullets. The deceased include those who had stopped to record videos of the incident, says the journalist who shared the video.
