Moment camera captures house EXPLODING from a gas leak in Indiana as two people are hospitalized

Doorbell camera footage captured the shocking moment a roof of a house exploded from a gas leak in Indiana, leaving two people hospitalized. 

The Princeton house, which is split up into apartments, seemingly exploded out of nowhere on Tuesday around 11.30am as the roof split in two and fell down the sides of the multi-family home. 

Two of the four residents were hospitalized and their names have not yet been released. 

One is believed to be the maintenance man, who was working on the heater inside the home when it exploded, according to 14 News. 

Resident Diaghman Gibson, who was not home during the explosion, said he ‘woke up to the smell of gas.’ 

‘Something told me to leave,’ he told 14 News. ‘So I got up and got ready, talked to the maintenance man, told him I was leaving and to lock up whenever they were done.’

The rest of the house remained standing and Vincent’s home only had ‘cosmetic damage.’  

‘I was at work, and my sister called me and told me that the house next to mine was in flames,’ Vincent told 14 News. ‘So, I just ran here to get my dogs out. So we’re all squished in the car.’ 

Despite Vincent escaping unscathed, home resident Tesia Crumbaugh, who was at work when the explosion happened, said she lost precious memories, including the ashes of deceased family members. 

‘We’ve lost a couple of loved ones over the years, and the stuff that is non-replaceable was up there, so that’s hitting pretty hard,’ she told 14 News. 

Residents have been moved to the Salvation Army for housing.
