Explosion at Greenwood Terrace in Hong Kong Goes Viral as Worker Gets Thrown into the Air



29th January 2024 - In a shocking incident that unfolded at Greenwood Terrace in Chai Wan, Hong Kong, an explosion rocked a meter room, causing chaos and panic among residents. A viral video captured the terrifying moment when a massive fireball erupted from the electrical meter room, propelling a steel door into the air and sending a worker flying.

The video footage shows workers on a platform outside the meter room just moments before the explosion. As a passerby dressed in red approached the scene, the explosion occurred only three seconds later. Flames initially emerged from the gap between the steel door and the ground, followed by a massive fireball and a cloud of dust bursting out of the room's windows and door. The force of the explosion lifted a worker on the platform into the air while the steel door detached and hurtled towards unsuspecting pedestrians.



Security personnel at the scene immediately reported the incident, describing the electrical meter room as engulfed in dense smoke. Two workers, identified as Mr. Yuen (35 years old) and Mr. Pak (36 years old), were present and engaged in drilling and welding activities when the explosion happened. Both workers suffered burns, with Mr. Yuen sustaining burns to his feet and Mr. Pak suffering burns to his hands. They were conscious and promptly taken to the Eastern District Hospital for medical treatment.


The explosion caused significant damage, distorting and twisting the main entrance of the meter room, which ended up approximately ten meters away from its original position. The incident has left residents shocked and concerned about the safety of the area.


Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the explosion and taking necessary measures to ensure the safety of the residents. The incident serves as a reminder of the potential dangers associated with electrical facilities and the importance of adhering to strict safety protocols.
