These three pals wound up hungry and injured when an outdoor barbecue suddenly erupted in a violent explosion.
CCTV footage shows the three friends, who were not identified, grilling meat out in a yard in Yangjiang, in China’s southern Guangdong Province, on the night of 18th October.
Then, as one of them was adding food over the open fire, the barbecue suddenly blew up in their faces.
Frightened, they jumped out of their seats and barely escaped the sparks and balls of fire that flew all around and nearly set their clothes alight.
Fortunately, all three got away with just minor injuries.
The trio later shared the video as a warning on Douyin, China’s version of TikTok. Many netizens claimed the blast was likely caused by the concrete below shattering under the hot fire.
User ‘Man’ commented: “Barbecuing directly over a concrete surface will definitely lead to an explosion.”
User ‘Open Sesame/’ wrote: “The concrete floor exploded. Next time, you should put a layer of red brick underneath.”
And User ‘6053535276352’ said: “This looks like fireworks being set off.”
