Chaos and fear in Ghana's capital Saturday (October 7) evening, as residents run from a massive blast caught here on camera by a witness. According to the government, the giant fireball was created when a natural gas station exploded, killing several people - though that number isn't clear yet. Witnesses tell Reuters they counted four or five bodies at the scene. Many are injured as well. Officials say the blaze, which spread to a petrol station across the street, is now largely under control. Residents could be seen evacuating from the area as several emergency vehicles rushed to tend the scene. A similar explosion at a petrol station in 2015 killed around 100 people in the city. It was the country's worst disaster in more than a decade.
