2:11Now PlayingFollowing a gas line explosion in Lake Worth, Florida, on September 24, a local resident recorded footage of what they said was a broken water main near the site. The video shows brown water and steam shooting in the air, according to the uploader.
All lanes of the Florida Turnpike in Lake Worth were closed for several hours on Thursday, after the gas line next to the highway exploded and caused structural instability, local reports said.
Nearby Discovery Key Elementary School was evacuated, and all students and staff members were bused to Polo Park Middle School in Wellington, local media reported.
Video captured by a security camera at Lake Worth Gold Mine – an area business – shows the moment the explosion sent dirt and debris flying into the air.
Local news said some residents reported feeling the explosion, and all those in the vicinity were told to shelter in place due to hazardous materials.
