Explosion of atomic junction gas
The explosion of a nearby gas station resulted in the burning of two filling stations at Atomic Junction.
On October 6, 2017, there was a catastrophic gas explosion that left Accra in complete despair.
There were some fatalities and serious injuries from the gas explosion at the Madina Atomic Junction.
Authorities acknowledged that casualties were caused by the massive explosions close to the major intersection in northeast Accra, which scared off terrified locals.
A massive fireball was shot into the sky above the eastern region of Accra by the explosions, sending many terrified inhabitants running from their houses.
According to the police, the explosions took place in Legon’s Atomic Junction crossroads.
According to a statement from the Ministry of Information, 132 people had been hurt and seven people had died. After receiving treatment, about half of them were already released.
Fearful locals were forced to evacuate after the explosion, which started at a state-owned GOIL liquefied natural gas station, spread to a Total gas station across the street.
The Madina Atomic Junction gas explosion on Saturday night resulted in the confirmed deaths of over three persons and some badly injured others.
The 37 Military Hospital confirmed the deaths.
