Dr. Mcllveen told the Star he was overwhelmed by the devastation caused by the explosion, comparing it to a crater that might be caused by **a 20 ton bomb." It's certainly an area of devasta- tion, the magnitude of which 1 couldn't believe," he said. Eyewitness Richard Drew, 42, of Port Perry, was on his way to work in Whitby, turning onto Winchester Rd. off Simcoe Street when his car was actually blown a couple of feet across the road by the force of the explosion. "My first thought was either I'd blown a tire of I'd been sideswiped. The 'whole car moved a couple of feet," he said. His car heated up instantaneous- ly, so hot he checked the paint to see if it had blistered, and all he could hear was a deafening hissing noise. When he pulled over to the side of the road and looked, he was amaz- ed to see a ball of fire taller than nearby farm silos, and a group of terrified cattle trying to find their way back to the barn. The heat was so intense, he said, he felt like he was standing next to a bonfire, even though he was ap- proximately 400 yards from the flames. Nick Oram, 18, an employee at Raglan Autobody, felt the explosion a few miles away, where he was working. The Scugog Island resident said "It was more like a trembling than a noise. I didn't even know what it was at first but it sounded like a jet going over. As I got closer, it was more like a boom." Township. Education.
