As one Facebook commenter notes, the footage is some "scary end-of-world kinda shit!" While Brown films utility workers working on the street, an explosion that sounds like some sort of missile strike suddenly happens to her left. Meg then pans the camera and captures the beginning of the smoky blaze blaze emanating from a sewer. Finally, the footage cuts to rapid-fire, noisy explosions as black smoke engulfs the adjacent sidewalk.
Without further ado, here's Brown's footage:
Yesterday's fire wasn't the first man-made disaster to hit the north end of downtown this year. Early last month, contractors working on a development project at Hennepin Avenue and North 2nd Street nailed a 36-inch water main responsible for bringing water to much of the City of Lakes, disrupting water service and rush-hour traffic and flooding a portion of the North Loop.
Maybe it's God's weird way of saying he's displeased with "hipsters" as Forbes defines them or something?
