An underground explosion in a Scottish Power electrical junction box sent debris flying into the street.
Residents of a busy area in Edinburgh had their afternoon rocked after a pavement exploded on Monday.
Police and fire officers were called to the scene, erecting a cordon to protect the public as shocked passersby looked on, reports Edinburgh Live. One local said she saw a man with a "melted" jacket in the aftermath. She said: "We were sitting on the upstairs terrace of the Raeburn hotel bar and heard a loud bang. We looked over the side being nosey and saw the manhole cover like that, with black debris and smoke coming out of the hole."Then we phoned the police who called the water fairies. They all arrived about five to 10 minutes later."
