I was going to legon botanical gardens to enjoy some live band music.On reaching Wisconsin university, I saw cars reversing and families running from their homes which created traffic congestion.
I was around Wisconsin when the second explosion occurred and actually felt the heat.

Hell would be a terrible place to be.My night is messed up
Thank God!! I'm happy you're safe bro. I stay at haatso. It's close to the place.

Hell is really a terrible place, I'm finding it hard to sleep. We thank God for your life and safety.

A fuel station has exploded at Atomic junction in Accra.

The incident happened at about 7:30pm and it's still going on though rain is falling heavily and ECG has taken power.

The fire was said to have started at a Total Fuel station and extended to another station. Pls if you've any family and love ones there call.

It's happening close to my house and from what I can see, (the smoke and everything) it's a big one.

Ghanaians on this forum and Nigerians in Ghana Accra, hope you're safe? I really pray it's not a repeat of June 3rd disaster. God help us. cry

So no more other pictures apart from just the only picture posted? Internet should be filled with pictures as regard this kind of big incident. So where are the other pictures and videos?

Meanwhile, it is well. May God take control over everything.

I really bless God for His mercies endureth forever. I live very close to that area. I was abt to go to total station but a friend held me down with gist

Some minutes later while i was locking my door, i heard the first explosion. Mhen,the whole place lit up like it was 12noon. Out of curiousity i went closer( was close to the taxi park/shashee area) I stopped wen i saw a lady sitting on the floor crying,obviously she ran from the makert after the first explosion

I stood down n tried to ask why she was ceying?what she saw,or if any of her family was affected.That question increased her tears, she laid her head on my knees n wept bitterly like a little child. 5mins later low n behold the second explosion sounded.Where i was i could feel the heat.Before u could say 'Jesus is lord' everyone started running. I ran bare-footed towards the shashee area for hours in the rain (come see the way oloshos dey run)

Their was a power cut,many oloshos fell into gutter while running. The heat from the inferno can still be felt.I was so scared, i asked myself 'is this how i wud just die just like that?'

We adviced ourselves to avoid filling stations cos the gas might link up...A good samaritian driving a pick up van offered to give us a ride to adenta estate. We where just sooo many, only abt twenty of us could get itFrom the back of d van we could still see the fire.So scaring.I just wonder how hell fire wud be. Lord please dont let me go to hell.

Am presently at a strangers house at adenta, cant sleep ,very wet n cold .And am still trying to recover from the shock..
Lord have mercy!! Thank God for keeping you.

I agree it's so inappropriate I wonder if some people are actually human like the rest of us.

I really hope the casualties are not devastating. Ghana we are standing with you and praying for you.

The sound of the explosion was huge and several. I lived at La Bawaleshi east Legon and could see the flames. Though not raining as claimed. But Emergency teams of government are at hand. More report later.

According to what I heard, A tanker was offloading gas and it exploded, I'm quite scared for the driver and the people around at that period(I heard its a busy place).
Hmmn!God have mercy!
I hope Fire fighters have been able to get things under control?
You can trust Ghana for swift response to Emergency. They moved in quickly but I can't be sure of their activities there.

Hmmm....deliberate?...or carelessness?
