A man inspects a plumber's van (L) after

A man inspects a plumber's van (L) after it was torn apart by an explosion as an apprentice went to unlock it using a keyless entry device, which the van's owner, plumber Mick Ponton, said felt like a 747 jet coming through his roof, in Melbourne on October 22, 2009. Leaking gas equipment is being blamed for the blast in which no one was injured but several homes surrounding the explosion were extensively damaged and some residents were evacuated from their homes as firemen brought the blaze under control.
