A Fairfax County, Virginia, resident described a sudden morning explosion that shook her home “hard enough to make my heart stop,” after what officials say was a propane-related vehicle blast, with early reports alleging the driver may have been smoking at the time of the incident.
The account, shared by Shannon Marie in response to the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department on social media, captured the moment a routine morning commute gave way to panic, sirens, and a neighborhood-wide shockwave.
