Drone footage shows massive damage from explosion in Scotland

A family of four were seriously hurt after an explosion ripped through a terraced house on a South Ayrshire council estate, destroying their home and severely damaging others. Police Scotland confirmed that two boys, aged 16 and 11, had been transferred to hospitals in Glasgow along with a 43-year-old woman and a 47-year-old man, adding it was too early to say if the incident was the result of a gas leak.

I'm absolutely stunned that FOUR people survived this explosion when the house is completely obliterated!!!

Why do you never use drones to cover protests??

[MegaChris]

Just relieved to hear the family have survived. Awful to see their home like that, can't imagine what they've gone through. I'd be messed up.

[GrouchyHaggis]

It's honestly amazing nobody died.

[SHANEYSON]

Tragic to see yet another residence completely obliterated.

They said gas prices were going through the roof 😕.

I remember my father bypassing the gas meter using bicycle innertube; forty years on, and I'm still amazed he never blew us up!

This seems far too common. Do a follow up article on the reason for the explosion

[jaccrystal]

The immediate headline is not that people were injured but that property had been damaged.

This happens a lot.

It would be enlightening if UK police put out some statistics…

The price of gas has gone through the roof, and so has the contents of this house. This will happen if you fiddle with the meter!!!

Why is this happening? How did this happen?

[gedreillyhomestead]

Was this a Barrett built house? The remains look like confetti.

Must go green and get the new HEAT PUMPS, they only cost £15, 000 and triple your bills also need a lot of maintenance. In other words useless. Some homes have no gardens.

The reason why I've never been a huge fan of gas and try to keep to electric as much as possible even though it's more expensive.
