Surveillance video shows deadly explosion at Sun Metro facility near El Paso Airport

Описание: Surveillance video from inside the Sun Metro maintenance facility shows the explosion that killed two workers and injured 11 people back in February.

The incident happened at around 1:21 p.m. at the facility located at 10151 Montana Ave. near the El Paso International Airport.

According to the fire marshal's report, the cause of the fire and subsequent explosions was determined to be a compressed natural gas (CNG) cylinder that was punctured by an adjacent control panel for a hydraulic lift, as a Sun Metro bus unintentionally fell off a hydraulic lift, the report stated.

This mechanical breach resulted in the uncontrolled release of flammable gas.

The resulting mechanical friction and/or electrical current ignited the gas-air mixture, triggering a deflagration event and multiple explosions, according to the report.

The incident was ruled as unintentional, and the case has since been closed.
