Just what the heck is going on?
Details are little bit vague at the moment, but it appears that a manhole has just exploded on Baggot Street in Dublin this morning. Thankfully, no one appears to be injured and initial suspicions are that it was as a result of a gas explosion underground. Check out these tweets from onlooker Eoin Ó Súilleabháin below…
