Three explosions hit a snack bar at São Simão Bus Station, leaving an 86-year-old man seriously injured

The explosion happened on Wednesday (30). In the video, obtained by TV Anhanguera, it is possible to see the first explosion in the right corner of the image at around 5:06 am. Soon after, two other smaller explosions occur.

Another camera, from a window, shows the explosion from an even closer angle. It is possible to see part of the damage caused after the first detonation.

The explosions took place in a cafeteria. During the initial assessment, the Fire Department team identified three kitchen cylinders and a gas system piped into the building. The three cylinders were removed from the scene.

The victim who had most of his body burned was elderly João Melo Lima, 86 years old, who works in the cafeteria where the explosion occurred. According to the report, he remained hospitalized in the ICU of the Governador Otávio Lage de Siqueira State Emergency Hospital (Hugol) until the last update of this report.

As the names of the other injured were not released, g1 was unable to get an update on their health status until the last update of this report. But according to firefighters, they presented mild symptoms, such as pressure crises.

The São Simão Bus Station suffered three explosions in the early hours of Wednesday (30), in an area where the snack bars are located.

On TV Anhanguera, João's family said that he arrived to work at around 4:54 am. Family members believe that the elderly man may have left the gas on when he left the day before, which could have caused the explosions when he returned to work.
