Bollywoodfever, March 5: A series of explosions followed by a fire at an industrial facility in Clinton Township, just north of Detroit, Michigan, resulted in debris being scattered up to a mile away, according to local police. Authorities have issued warnings, advising the public to avoid the area for safety.
Images and videos circulating on social media capture intense flames and thick smoke emanating from the site, located approximately 25 miles north of Detroit.
The nighttime explosions sent what appeared to be flaming debris soaring into the sky, creating a dramatic scene.
