Paul Klemm, the owner of Ohlin’s Bakery in Belmont, Mass., can be seen in the video going about his business when suddenly there’s a flash of bright light and sparks flying everywhere.

From another camera angle you can see his employee running to see if his boss is okay. Luckily, there were no serious injuries.
“It’s a miracle that I walked away,” Klemm told CBS Local news station WBZ-TV. “Because I went to get a pan and I didn’t get that pan, but the stack of trays protected me from the oven.”

The explosion was so powerful, it blew out part of the bakery’s brick wall.
Investigators looking into the explosion say that it was most likely caused from a gas build up.
The explosion happened March 15 and repairs are already underway.
