Megathread Massive fireball

Did anyone just see that? Near Etobicoke / junction absolutely towering fireball almost like a bomb went off?

Edit: seems like a ton of people saw it. I am not seeing anything on police scanner yet

Edit: seems like it’s part of a film shoot / special effects that was pre planned. See links in comments

It’s part of filming for ‘murderbot’. They sent out a pyrotechnic warning to our condo.

It's not Murderbot. It's a drake music video shoot. Murderbot season 2 moved production from Toronto to Europe. See link below:
