- One person is unaccounted for and multiple others were injured after an explosion caused extensive damage to a building in downtown Youngstown, Ohio. KDKA-TV's Barry Pintar is live at the scene.
Whether you are in a Building or out on a Nature Hike, the Golden Rule is: "When you hear a hissing sound, you run like hell and don't look back!" Words to live by.
Cornholiooooooooooo!!
@@donwayne1357👈🏻voted for Biden 🤣
Sometimes my husband "hissed"...and it was "natural gas." I ran too!
Being a firefighter.. you exactly right.
if you hear hissing / rattling sound of a snake don’t run
stop and try to find a snake, running and stepping on a snake might make things worse
also usually if there is one snake, there might be more around
As someone who has been injured on the job myself, I hope all the surviving workers make a good recovery.
"Heard a hissing sound and smelled gas" - which means "we didn't contact the gas company to locate where their gas pipes are and we accidentally punctured their main gas pipe into the building and it exploded because we are stupid".
Exactly. They were clueless idiots. How tragic. One person is missing and I expect more are, no one has figured out yet.
I came here to make this same comment. Remember, diversity is a strength.
Damn. Maybe the gas supply should have been shut off before the work began.
Yeah, really. When old gas line infrastructure gets dilapidated, booms are eventualities.
People on the residential floors would have no gas then.
Damn right
People live in the upper floors.
Clueless.
"The entire whole building blew out!!"
Seconds later: "The entire first floor blew out!!"
yo mama
Right?! The glass in the windows on the floor right above the street-level bank isn't even cracked. (Altho, that's not to say the building's basement and street levels didn't sustain bad structural damage [doubt it, tho, because it looks like it's 100% "fire-proof," reinforced concrete construction faced with exterior brick].) Those 1910s and '20s reinforced concrete "high-rises" were built super beefy.
News loves to exaggerate
What exactly are you mad about? That news stories have developments?
@TAZEROXFORD lmfao, changing your statement when you turn around in 2 seconds is not a "developing story" 🤣
When Chase be charging you $36 to cover that $1.42 you were short on the $5.99 streaming subscription you forgot about...
So you're blaming some random employee for your forgetful spending. lol You must be a boomer.
they do it on purpose. they did that last recession when the cash situation got rough. its predatory and should be illegalized. they will change the dates and times that charges hit the account and then get settled to force you into paying those overdraft fees. its such a horrible scam
LOL at Case bank but pray for the people
Imagine PAYING for a streaming service in this day and age lol
@@badboibubby1878 Pluto TV is FREE.... I saw the commercial.
They hit those lines far more than people want to believe. Generally, the line is exterior and they get it shut off before there's a real issue.
The industry term is spicy dirt;)
Commercial real estate collapse combined with bank failure. Insurance claims may be more profitable all around.
🧐hmmm…
Food for thought . . .
Or inconvenient records disappeared.
Chase failed? Gonna need a citation.
It happened in the UK during the cough. Many places burnt down.
There's got to be cameras everywhere.
Have you checked the safe?
The uncounted person is the one that lit his lighter to find the hissing.
lol! Good one! Reminds me of a 3 stooges episode lol!😂👍
Kind of ominous, Worker is talking about his friend going in for survivors and he has not seen him since, and then the Caster come back to say one person is unaccounted for...
Amazing, if the sidewalks were packed like @Lunch there would have been dozens of people blown away. Small miracles.
You should have approved that guy's loan application.
Now the building is not safe...🥺
What do you mean?
@@poppylove3673 At face value, I'd say the Building's structural elements holding up all the floors above have been compromised . . .Though they are holding up for the moment.
@@benjaminstorace6699I'd never trust that building again if I lived there. I would move for sure.
Chase offices are not safe, most likely.
@@benjaminstorace6699 Thanks
They mentioned apartments on the floors above the bank, but no one mentioned what happened to all of the tenants. Did they evacuate them from the building? Any news on them? How many apartments? How many tenants? Just curious.
It happened during work hours. So there's that.
Instant eviction! Usual policy is to hard cut all utilities to the building. If the property manager "knows a guy who knows a guy" power should be restored before strippers move in.
Poor baby animals left alone in those apartments above...
@@lifeofreilly9943 Um, it could be a NO PETS allowed building
@@HobbyOrganist That's true
Its amazing that the building is still standing. Well built.
No, it really isn't. Buildings are a lot harder than you have been led to believe to take down.
@@glennjames7107 So it's not well built but still harder to take down?
Prayers for everyone
You're a big help.
Prayers for those that were hurt for a full recovery.
Don't tell God what to do
@justayoutuber1906
I'm quite sure it's an ask, not a order.
Then again I wouldn't know and I highly doubt you do. Bridge troll.
The entire building is still standing so it didn’t entirely blow out!
Don't you just love it when the news reporters are overly dramatic and state the obvious. For example, the blast was heard all over downtown, well duh!😂
🤣
Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry" comes to mind.
Prayers for all who are affected by this...
Definitely. How terrible.
"The bomb has been called out..." Does he mean the Bomb Squad?
They are the explosion experts, so it would make sense. They can ensure there aren't any explosives inside waiting for engineers to stumble on. It just makes sense.
No, I'm pretty sure that his fellow reporters saw some little stick-o-dynamite scampering around on little cartoon legs, fingers in its ears, awaiting the big BOOM when they called it out, told it, "Hey, buddy, your fuse is out," and then watched as it searched in vain in its pockets for a match to relight it's own fuse.
Or yeah, maybe the reporter misplaced a word or three in his excitement.
I wondered that too . 3:02
Nope, the bomb walked out with it's hands up saying "Don't shoot, I surrender!"
HOLY CRAP I've passed that a LOT and I don't even live in Ohio but have traveled through Youngstown for Decades to get to my dad's hometown down in Flushing OH. That was the "old way" before the freeways were what they are now.
Wow! That precious piece of info will likely help solve the case.
@@theotheleo6830
WHY do you have to be so nasty??? Smdh
Was the bank closed because of the construction?
🤭🤭😆😆you wrong for that @@theotheleo6830
I hope you don't have your phone in the car when you do. ATF may be looking for you now.
Prayers for all those involved . Deep sadness for the loss and injured .
Gas explosion basically blew the glass windows out, the building has a steel frame, it would survive that and can be repaired.
Thank you four good reporting!
That building 🏢🏫 is going to collapse!! GET OUT NOW!!! I bet Chase has something to do with this happening!
You think Chase is trying to collect on insurance?
The force of the explosion went through all the glass windows. The support structures are very likely unharmed.
I hope the building is safe. That is a serious structural damage that happened. I'm surprised it's still standing
I live here. 1 confirmed dead on scene, 1 in critical condition multiple people rushed to hospital with now officially non-life threatening injuries.
Come on people... This wasn't an accident!!! These explosion can't all be about gas leaks...
Sure they can...gas leaks happen all the time...
@@JohnPublic-dk7zdhave you seen the film Brazil? Genuine question.
@@CoercedJab negative...never heard of it...
There's at least 1 house a day in the U.S. Train derailments happen even more.
It can.
This reporter has very clearly never encountered a story this big. He is very excited and keeps skipping over words that need to be part of the story that he is telling.
Yep, a real life South Park reporter.
As a man of few words said, Amen brother!
😅😅 y'all are buggin in the comments
hope missing person is okay. and the pets.... apartments mean pets. hope pets are all okay. poor little babies. would have been terrifying.
Most apartments are NO PETS ALLOWED...
@@HobbyOrganist my experience is most allow cats and small little animals
Strange 💩 going on this year.
Gas explosions happen every year, somewhere
@@justayoutuber1906sure have been a lot.
More feddy work here
Gas explosions have happened every other year.
@@philyeary8809 Citation needed.
Good report.
Thanks!
Youngstown didn't need this
Watch your surroundings folks .Be safe folks.Hope the injured heal up soon .
Sorry to hear about the injured and missing.
Yeah, the windows on the first floor were damaged. That ATM looks untouched in the video.
Very similar to the explosion that happened in Fort Worth at the Sandman Hotel, back in January. It was natural gas, in the kitchen, in the basement. LNG is tricky.
Are we sure that someone in the building hadn't simply eaten Taco Bell for lunch?
Best wishes to the injured.
Don’t break a gas pipe
Hired due to DEI ??
Horrible.
What happened when the boarding house exploded? Roomers went flying.
oy. but lol.
Dad Jokes are peak humor
But I bet the room prices are in the basement 😮
@@benjaminstorace6699 Grandma smoked her first joint when she burned down Grandad's favorite bar.
Roomers🤣
Can you say they must have come under violations on the building. And of course always hear per say gas or what ever. But imagine that CHASE BANK.
I about died on the job once when a pay by day worker threw a pallet and hit the main gas supply for a large building downtown and we started smelling gas everybody yelling fires out fires out no flames then fire department all that stuff
😮
Great in this economy all them needing to find a new home
This economy is booming? Making $$ daily in the market.
@@Lisazab really
@@Lisazab clearly you're a biden supporter 🤡
@@Lisazab yeah ok
Hands up if you would sell your house for less than the top dollar you could get.
Very suspicious!
Nah, gas leak explosions happen, too often, in fact...not far from where I am a KFC blew up a year or two ago...middle of the night, no one hurt, but it was flattened...
That's what I'm thinking. Sounds like a coverup.
@@JohnPublic-dk7zdcrazy how it all depends on what the TV decides to tell us tho huh? Black Mirror Vibes.
@@bardika1Gas leak explosions are common because our pipes are so old.
what, exactly, is "very suspicious"?
First Fort Worth, now Youngstown. Open your eyes people.
Accidental gas explosions have happened for as long as gas has existed. No need for foil hat theories.
What exactly do you think happened?
That's the exact type of explosion. I thought the same thing. No accidents.
@lindahinojosa299 Accidents happen all the time. Between deteriorating infrastructure and human error, there's going to be accidents like this happening.
Very fishy
Not even vaguely.
@@joepacak6521not even awake, huh?
An explosion at the Chase Bank building had me thinking someone was planning a robbery.
No offense but that only happens in the movies.
The bankers.
The bank hates competition!
I used to work in Youngstown. How sad.
Where is the fire? Go look up natural gas explosions and compare it to the video of this. 🤔
Trains derailing ,buildings on fire in California, house's blowing up sounds like the middle east
Yep and yet millions pouring across the border fjb
New Normal
Don't forget bridges collapsing.
Maybe you should try having a firsthand experience with such before giving completely stupid comparisons!
You forgot about all the barges crashing into pillars too!
"The bomb has been called out". "They have every single downtown street blocked off". World class reporting there, bud.
GAS explosion ????? None of the CCTV views that I have seen show any fire.....
That only happens in the movies.
@@fractuss Hmmmm....natural gas explosion without fire????? Bet you did great in chemistry class😏
Wow looks like a area they want to put a new building. And maybe some good insurance.
The story they are giving doesn’t sound right
A bank building having “work” done and no one turned off the gas?? Doubt it
Plumber here, I’ve worked in several buildings with the gas on. Typically all the utilities are on. It’s up to the contractors to be qualified and work in a safe manner.
Sounds like the construction company did not check with the gas company regarding active gas lines at that site.
Sounds like the work of the FBI ...
How so?
Gas is dangerous. One false move, one spark. Why was it left ON in a construction area? Oh, it's Ohio. Safety regulations to protect citizens have been gutted, saves $$$$ for the rich.
They have housing in the above buildings so shutting it off for weeks or months won't fly. That's why you get blue prints and diagrams, of where the gas lines are and not cut there.
"Oh... it's Ohio! 🤪 Der her her!"
...is that why it costs a fortune to build anything in all the snowflake states?
Hey... we want to install new drywall in this...
You: "YOU NEED TO CUT THE GAS, ELECTRICITY, AND HIRE 30 SAFETY INSPECTORS BEFORE STARTING THAT DANGEROUS WORK! 🤪"
In Ohio, all the money goes to Homeland Security (which is just the DoD + CIA), Fusion Centers and their agents.
If the explosion was so great and it was felt throughout the downtown area, how is the building standing without its foundation?
It has a foundation.
This is one of the most dangerous town in us. Owners of real estate trying to get out their money
Youngstown tuneup.
Oh please, there is literally no crime downtown. Don't mess with criminals and you are just as safe as anywhere.
I'm truly glad that we have that reputation. It keeps the likes of you from moving here or visiting.
It's dangerous in terms of interpersonal violence i.e. domestic violence.
Even news reporters say “literally” 😂
Not an accident.
Your evidence...?
expert on a couch with da facts.
Ah, yes. Just how much cash was lost? Heh, heh.
@@JohnPublic-dk7zdOver a Million got aways.
@@CoercedJab that may be a fact, but gas leaks happen anyway...the got-aways are likely going to be smarter about destroying the country...FObiden...
Didn't forget to turn off the lights on the way out..... light switch = ignition 😮
Thankfully it did not collapse. But how safe is the building now for people who live upstairs.
It's s not safe until the inspectors and engineers conclude it is.
Our gov did it again
Evidence?
Lord help those injured..🙏🙏
He could have stepped up a few hours ago and just stopped the explosion, but what do I know.
Praying no one was seriously injured! 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
Wow 😮
Praying 🙏🏼 for all affected
Why would gas still be on during extensive renovations?
Exactly.
Paid mockingbird liars, aka media.
To fuel the residents needs I should imagine.
Duh !
60 years ago this would have hardly made the news in Youngstown
Ban assault construction
There was climate change for a split second on the first floor of that building. 😮
Did he say the bomb has been called out?
Yes, I am thinking he meant bomb squad has been called out.
Yes but we all know what he meant.
Hard way to get out of your lease.
Prayers for all the families.
Very similar to the building explosion in Ft. Worth, Texas
Thanks
Ummm, the EXACT same thing happened to a building in downtown Ft. Worth, Texas back in January. Same type of "gas blow out." Something is going on.
Yeah... old buildings, sloppy workmanship, and careless employees.
@@jasono2139 Yeah, it's playing out like the ending of an Ayn Rand novel
@@joecummings1260 Youngstown itself looks like the end of Ayn Rand novel... what a dump.
@@jasono2139 Yeah not a lot of good happened there since Black Monday when Sheet & Tube went down
@@joecummings1260 I think the mob was ruining the city long before that.
Their corrupt ways made it so that nobody would want to live there while they leeched off the spineless official willing to take their bribes.
I’m from Youngstown and we live pretty close to down town maybe half mile away idk how we didn’t hear it probably cause we were inside the house
DAMN! I thought it was going to be some
Oceans 11 thing or something
OMG it reminds me of the explosion in Texas years ago...🙏
Thank God no deaths...🙏🤔
Years ago I was in a job site trailer in Downtown Toronto and all of a sudden we heard a huge explosion. Apparently the company drilling caissons for the building foundation hit a methane gas pocket in trapped in the shale releasing and igniting it resulting in a massive single fireball. It was out as soon as it ignited. The operator of the drilling machine needed a diaper change after that incident.
There is no way that building is safe, or ever will be. The main supporting beams are all bent out. You can see it.
Not true, they can replace supporting beams, the WTC had a huge hole blasted thru several floors from a truck bomb in the basement before 9/11, the tower stood fine and the damage repaired
PRAYERS FOR THE FAMILIES ❤
What a lot of nonsense from this reporter. He says the workmen heard hissing and ran, but later he says they are investigating what kind of BOMB it was. Just to grab headlines he makes up a story that has no basis in fact. Very irresponsible and slimy.
If, as has been stated, a gas main blew out, WHY WAS THERE NO FIRE?
Another video says that a man was actually killed in Youngstown Ohio explosion
"Multiple" people? The word people is already plural. Best wishes for healing to those affected ❤
Reporting is conversational, he's not writing a book, it's for flow of conversation and drama.
@@KtP370 Exactly
@@yearginclarke Yeah, like the ""Bomb being called out ! Reporters are supposed to be hired on their ABILITY TO REPORT ! Like not telling the Public the whole building has blown out when its just the first floor !
What I noticed is a lack of information.
When was the building built? What caused the blow out?
How many people live in that building?
How many people had to be hospitalized?
Was there incidents or signs before this occurred?
That’s some kindergarten reporting here.
Old school charm
3:00 "At this point the bomb has been called out", but it was a gas leak 🤔🤨🙄
So they should forego their due diligence even though we pay them to do it?
A lot of this been going on lately. Keep your eyes open.
A Bank? What caused the leak? Anything missing? Pittsburgh?
Pittsburgh?
Youngstown, OH. Reporter is from KDKA, Pittsburgh, which is a little more than an hour from ytown.
That's MY hometown...I AIN'T gonna even hold anyone...😑
And imagine, the first floor blew out, but the building still stands. Lucky it didn't implode.
How could "luck" make a building implode? Just curious.
Because its a steel frame building with brick veneer facades, the brick walls are not load bearing walls like older buildings.
@@HobbyOrganist The twin towers were steel buildings too. 🙂
Aww! That poor bank.
A chase bank.....hmmmm
Contracts are idiots they hit gas lins all the time. Hope they have good insurance.
As a contractor may I say right back at you and your profession.
This is why New York state is trying to ban gas lines
