Robert Stephens -- for the record, a member of the MPR Board of Directors -- has uploaded this video he shot at today's massive gas line explosion at 58th and Nicollet.
WCCO also has a gallery of images submitted by its viewers.

Wow. I see now why this video has gone viral locally. Than goodness no one was hurt or killed.
I was teaching a classroom of 8th graders this morning when the alert went out to Minneapolis schools about the code yellow called at schools in that area. I've never seen 8th grade boys so excited in my life. Luckily no one was hurt.
Is that the same Cub Foods that fired Mario unjustly and then went and pummeled activists who protested on behalf of workers rights that I saw on the news just last night?
