The video was shared on social media claiming, "They were lucky that all the doors and windows were open, which allowed much of the gas to escape outside and significantly reduced the impact of the explosion."
Due to the presence of mind and swift action of the woman during the time of the tragedy, a massive accident was averted and no loss of lives occurred in the massive blast inside the house.
