Two men remain in critical condition following a home explosion Friday in Langley, B.C. One woman is still missing, and RCMP cannot confirm if she was in the home at the time.
Mark Mullen was one of the first people on scene at a Friday home explosion and fire in Langley.
The thunderous blast rocked his normally quiet neighbourhood on 196th Street, just north of 72 Avenue, around 10:40 a.m. on Friday.
“When we got there, there was nobody around and we heard some popping, so we were telling everyone back up, back up,” Mullen said.
“We heard some noise and we looked over, and these two guys climbed out of the rubble.”
Other neighbours likened the sound and rumble to an earthquake or a vehicle smashing into their home.
Yellow flowers were laid at the scene on Saturday in a small vigil for the family that reportedly lived in the home.
