A large explosion has been reported at a propane depot in northern Toronto on Keele Street, near the Highway 401, at approximately 3:48am EST. The cause is currently unknown.
A person who was 10km from the explosion told Wikinews that "my house shook 10 km away. The sky was rumbling every few seconds."
A user on YouTube named "wolfshades" said that "we don't know whether the explosion was chemical or by virtue of its proximity to the Toronto Airport if a plane had crashed."
It is not yet known if the event caused any injuries, although Michael Gil, a contributer to the photo sharing site Flickr, said that "people are hurt."
Large numbers of police are on the scene to keep people away from the explosion.
