Good god.
A street in Sydney’s Neutral Bay was essentially turned into the gates of Hell this morning, after a piece of road works machinery went ahead and cut straight through a gas pipeline.
The blaze occurred a little after 7am, when crews accidentally hit the line on Aubin St. Flames quickly engulfed the machinery, and footage of the resulting blaze is enough to make you repent for fear of eternal damnation.
It is not believed anyone was injured during the incident, but several homes in the immediate vicinity were evacuated. As if you wouldn’t want to bolt after seeing that on your front porch.
A large cordon remains in place around the area, with drivers advised to seek other routes. Authorities are investigating the exact circumstances behind the blaze.
