A family that tried making breakfast on an improvised stove in the middle of the kitchen got scared to death when it suddenly exploded.

Bizarre CCTV footage shows the family of four from the city of Dali, in China’s southwestern Yunnan Province, sitting around the improvised cooker on the afternoon of 7th December.

They can be seen preparing tea and eggs wrapped in tinfoil, when one of the eggs explodes and a massive cloud of smoke rises into the air, leaving them petrified.

Seconds after the blast, their two pet dogs slowly approached the four individuals, apparently checking if they were okay.
