Worshipers miraculously escape from Leicester Hare Krishna temple after massive explosion | Just a day after devotees celebrated the birth of Lord Krishna, the Hare Krishna temple in Leicester, about
160 kilometres from London, caught fire after a massive explosion occurred, but the worshipers miraculously escaped the tragedy without serious injury. According
to the Daily Mail, the explosion destroyed a third of the building and smoke could
be seen billowing into the sky from the charred building. A gas leak is believed
to have led to the incident. Worshipper Guaranga Sundara Das, who arrived at the
scene later, said a friend had told him it appeared to be a gas leak. "He told
me there was an apparent gas leak and an explosion following it, with windows
shattered and glass flying out," Das added. Eyewitness Fatima Khatri said: "Everyone
is really worried. There was a lady crying outside, and a really injured gentleman
and people were really shaken. It's really upsetting to see this happen." According
to a police source, a technical rescue team was appointed to search through the
debris and there are fears that the temple has become unstable. |
