It's safe to say it is pretty much a miracle that no one was hurt in this this incident. According to WKYT in Kentucky, an explosion took place at a rink in Lexington over the weekend while staff were replacing a propane tank on the Zamboni machine. One of the owners of the ice center, David Christopher, told WKYT no one was hurt and there was no major damage. The local fire department and gas company were called in to take a look at the scene but quickly gave the all clear. As you can see in the video, there were people on the ice when the explosion took place. Judging by how loud it is in the clip, it must have been deafening for them. Everyone involved is very lucky there were no injuries and no major damage. You can actually see light fixtures on the ceiling shaking from the explosion.
