Update: Durham released a series of videos and audio recordings on Thursday related to the April 10 fatal gas explosion on North Duke Street. A video taken from a firefighters helmet-camera shows the immediate aftermath of the explosion – with firefighter pouring water on the rubble. The video shows firefighters go inside a building to the south of the site of the explosion. The firefighter begins to spray water into thick smoke and darkness. A second firefighter uses a special camera to show where the water is going and where hot spots are located. The explosion killed two people and injured 25 more. The gas line was cut by three Optic Cable Technology LLC employees operating the equipment that struck the line, the report said.
