An explosion that echoed from beneath the heart of Toronto’s business district at King Street West and Bay Street was caused by a blown hydro vault.

Plumes of black smoke poured underneath Scotia Plaza around 5:15 p.m. as commuters leaving work for the day began screaming in the confusion.

Witnesses at the scene reported screaming as the noise continued for several moments. Toronto police have not yet said what caused the sound of the blast, but a fire official on the scene told CBC News that the hydro vault — which contains high-voltage transformers — blew.

Officers descended on the area Monday afternoon and blocked off King and Bay. Despite those efforts, many people stayed close enough to document the chaos.
