Malaysians stunned as tiny stones fall from the sky after gas pipeline explosion

Residents of Puchong, Malaysia, were left surprised on Tuesday (1 April) when tiny stones began raining down from the sky — just hours after a powerful gas pipeline explosion rocked the area.

The bizarre phenomenon saw small stones, presumably debris from the blast, falling onto streets, rooftops, and even into people’s drinks.

Massive mushroom cloud spotted after gas leak

Earlier that morning, a gas leak in Putra Heights led to a massive explosion, sending a fiery mushroom cloud billowing into the sky and leaving bystanders in shock.

Eyewitnesses described hearing an ear-splitting roar as the inferno raged, with flames towering above trees, houses, and even nearby high-rise buildings.

The fire department later confirmed that a burst gas pipeline was responsible for the blast. Authorities swiftly evacuated nearby residents to ensure their safety.
