East York, ON ~ Canada
Crews were called to the city’s Parkview Hills neighbourhood, near O’Connor Drive and St. Clair Avenue East, Monday for reports that a watermain had broken.
Several road closures were put into effect as crews worked to shut down the affected valves.
However, at one point a vehicle drove over a stretch of roadway that had been “undermined” by the watermain break and “broke through the asphalt.”

BLOOMINGTON, Illinois
8 people were taken to the hospital early Wed after an apparent house explosion.
It happened just before midnight at a home along Old Peoria Ct, just east of Rivian Motorway and near an OSF PromptCare.
The house was burned to the ground in the explosion and resulting fire, according to a WGLT reporter at the scene.
The extent of the 8 people’s injuries was not immediately known, Rosecrans said. There were no deceased victims at the scene.
The State Fire Marshal was on scene to investigate. Nicor crews were also on scene Wed morning.
At around 7:45 a.m, a “very unusual” burning flame was still peeking out from the rubble of the destroyed home, Rosecrans said.
It’s not being fueled by Nicor gas, which has been shut off, so it’s possibly some type of methane that’s being piped into the house, he said.
Crews were still trying to figure out what it was.

Boston, UK
Dramatic footage of an underground explosion in a busy street in Boston, with flames emerging afterwards, has been shared by the borough council.
On Thurs (Aug 20), Lincolnshire Police said Bond St, off West St, was closed due to 'flames coming from underneath a footpath.’
The outbreak, it said, caused a manhole cover to become dislodged.
Today, Boston Borough Council has shared CCTV footage of the incident, revealing it began with an explosion on the footpath opposite its offices in West St.
Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Service attended the scene. The following day, they described it as a 'fire in an underground electrical installation'. They added, however, it had self-extinguished ahead of their arrival.
