Transformer Blast Queens NYC

[Mbrooke]

Transformer exploded in a vault sending flame up from sidewalk vents injuring a man who just happened to pass by.

Can anyone guess as to what went wrong or what would the technical cause be behind such a dramatic failure mode?

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?
