An inquest is due to conclude today into a gas explosion which killed a York man.
Paul Wilmott, 63, died in Haxby in February last year.
The coroner's already heard that the first paramedic who arrived found a scene of "complete devastation", and thought that Mr Wilmott's house had been flattened by a plane crash.
The blast is thought to have been caused by a corroded copper pipe , dating back to the 1970s.
Yorkshire Ambulance Service paramedic Andrew Hewitson told the jury: "My first thought was it was a possible plane crash, the way the house had caved in.
"The street was covered with debris, cars were covered with concrete, windows looked to be blown in, complete devastation."
We've been reporting problems on the M1 southbound at junction 45 near Temple Newsam, Leeds .
The police have just tweeted this picture from the scene - looks like you might want to avoid the area for the moment:
