Videos show chaos in moments after fatal Durham gas explosion

The videos were recorded by a drone overhead and by cameras on the helmets of Durham firefighters.

"Battalion 2, I need that medic unit to come down, come down Morgan Street right here to Duke [Street]," a firefighter says in one of the videos. "Your most critical patients are going to be here at Morgan and Duke."

Fires were burning in multiple buildings, including a garage that housed a collection of classic Porsches. Fire trucks were parked among the debris, including windows that had been blown out by the blast and rubble from buildings.

Portions showing injured people have been redacted, but the audio can still be heard.

"Somebody get in there and hold pressure on his head," one first responder calls out. "That leg that he is leaning on is completely broke."

Also sitting nearby were a damaged SUV and a bus, whose drivers and passengers were unlucky enough to be passing by at the time of the explosion, and a work truck that appears to have been involved.

Gas flowed for about an hour, filling underground cavities near Kaffeinate, before the blast, the report said. Firefighters haven't been able to pinpoint what ignited the explosion, however.

Kaffeinate owner Kong Lee refused to leave the building as firefighters evacuated the area before the explosion, and he was killed.

Jay Rambeaut, a PSNC employee who had responded to the gas leak, died two weeks later of injuries he suffered in the explosion.
