Delhi Blast Eyewitness Story Started Telling Many Things About The Incident.

As of around 9:00 PM IST on November 10, 2025, new eyewitness accounts are emerging from the chaotic scene near Gate No. 1 of Lal Quila Metro Station. These personal stories, shared via media interviews and social media videos, paint a vivid picture of terror, confusion, and heroism amid the high-intensity explosion that killed at least 8 and injured 24. The blast’s force—described repeatedly as “earthquake-like”—shook the crowded Chandni Chowk area, scattering debris and igniting fires in nearby vehicles. Here’s a roundup of the latest, most detailed fresh accounts (sourced from recent reports and posts since 8:00 PM):

1. The Shopkeeper’s Fall: “It Felt Like We Were All Going to Die”

• Full Story: This local shopkeeper (name not specified in the video, but described as a vendor in Chandni Chowk’s bustling market) was restocking his stall around 6:55 PM when the blast hit. In the raw ANI interview (captured on-site amid smoke and sirens), he recounts the sheer terror: “I never heard such a loud explosion ever in my life. I fell three times due to the explosion. It felt as if we were all going to die… The ground shook like an earthquake, and smoke filled everything. I thought the whole market was collapsing—people screaming, running everywhere. I scrambled up and saw the car in flames, debris flying. I helped pull a kid with cuts from glass shards away from the fire.” The video shows him shaken, gesturing wildly at the wreckage, with background sounds of ambulances. The thread ties into broader hospital visuals, where he mentions hearing about casualties en route to LNJP. Replies in the thread include locals echoing the “earthquake” feel and prayers, with one user noting: “Cold drink lagti hai bhai tension mein bilkul sahi hai” (a mix of shock and dark humor). This account went viral for highlighting how the evening rush turned deadly in seconds.

2. The Auto Driver’s Close Call: “The Car in Front Exploded Two Feet Away”

• Full Story: Zeeshan (or a similar auto-rickshaw driver, as per on-ground reports; the video features a direct eyewitness in an auto) was idling at the red light opposite Gauri Shankar Mandir, just two feet behind a white Swift Dzire (later identified as the blast source). In the chaotic Vistaar News video (filmed right after, with flames still visible), he describes: “I was stuck in traffic, horns blaring—peak hour chaos. Suddenly, the car ahead just… exploded. Flames shot up like a massive fireball, heat singed my face and arms instantly. Glass from my auto shattered everywhere, and I felt the blast wave push me back. I don’t know if it was a bomb or what, but it wasn’t normal—the roof flew off like paper. I jumped out, burns on my hands, and pulled two vendors from the burning wreckage. One was screaming, his clothes on fire; the other unconscious with shrapnel in his leg. Bodies and parts scattered on the road—horrific. The crowd panicked, people trampling each other to flee the narrow lanes.” The thread includes photos of twisted metal and smoke over the Red Fort, with replies debating if it was CNG or terror. Jitender Shukla’s post adds Hindi audio: “Delhi ke laal Qila per bomb blasts jaisa kuch hua hai mai wahi tha Sharir ke tukde yaha waha pade hai waha pr” (trans: “Bomb blast-like at Red Fort, I was there—body parts scattered everywhere”). He was treated at LNJP for minor burns but stayed to aid rescues.

3. The Horrific Aftermath: “Hands and Lungs on the Road”

• Full Story: Irfan (a market worker and resident, as identified in media cross-posts; the video shows an unnamed local rushing from the scene) arrived seconds after the 6:55 PM detonation while heading home through Chandni Chowk. In the Mr Sinha-shared clip (Zee Media footage, gritty and unedited), he breaks down: “There was a very loud blast—deafening, like nothing I’ve heard. We rushed over but couldn’t get close at first because of the raging fire in three-four cars. When the smoke cleared a bit, oh god… bodies scattered everywhere. Hands, lungs, charred remains on the road—unimaginable horror. The smell of burning flesh and metal was choking; I gagged. Several cars gutted, shops’ windows shattered up to 50 meters. I saw a woman’s sari catch fire from debris; we beat it out and carried her to an ambulance. No one knew what happened—cylinder? Bomb? But the force… it flung people like dolls. The air was thick with screams and black smoke over the Fort. We formed a chain to move the injured; I loaded four into tempos since ambulances were jammed.” Bhavesh Lodha’s repost amplifies: “Scary,” with replies speculating terror links and criticizing security. The thread has 34+ replies, including calls for probes and condolences, underscoring the graphic human cost in a heritage zone.

4. From the Rooftop: “Flames Lit Up the Sky Like Diwali Gone Wrong”

• Full Story: Rajdhar Pandey, a local resident living ~100 meters from the site, was sipping evening tea on his rooftop when the blast occurred. In the ANI video (clear audio, wide shot of the skyline), he narrates: “I saw the flames from my house rooftop—they turned the sky orange, like a massive Diwali firecracker but terrifying, not celebratory. The boom rattled my windows; I thought it was thunder at first. I ran down immediately to see what happened—thick black smoke billowing over the Red Fort, chain fires in vehicles, debris raining down like shrapnel. A loud explosion echoed everywhere; I live nearby, so it hit hard. On the ground, chaos: people dragging the wounded through narrow lanes, sirens wailing, body parts amid twisted metal. I helped a family—dad with burns, kids crying—get to safety. The heat was intense even from afar; locals were shouting for water to douse the flames. Felt like a nightmare against our historic Fort.” Shan’s repost adds hashtags for visibility, with thread replies questioning if it was an accident or attack, and one user tying it to recent ammonium nitrate seizures. Pandey mentions the symbolic shock: “This is our independence spot—how could this happen?”

5. The Gurdwara Visitor’s Confusion: “A Sound So Loud We Thought the World Ended”

• Full Story: An unnamed devotee (at nearby Gauri Shankar Mandir/Gurdwara, per context; video shows prayer beads in hand) was in evening prayers when the explosion rocked the area. In the Saeed Yousafzai/Zee Media clip (short but intense, with temple bells in background), they recall: “I was at the gurdwara praying peacefully—usual evening crowd seeking blessings. Then, a strong sound—so loud we couldn’t make out what it was. It felt like the end of the world; the floor vibrated, everyone froze in shock, then bolted outside into utter chaos. From afar, I saw the fireball erupt, secondary fires spreading to stalls. Body parts on the road… cars engulfed, a woman with severe burns—her sari ablaze from flying embers. We rushed to help carry her; the screams mixed with chants turning to wails. Like an earthquake hit our sacred spot—debris everywhere, smoke choking the air. Thought it was divine wrath at first, but no… human evil. Prayers turned to action; we loaded injured into whatever vehicles came.” Global__Perspective’s repost links it to earlier car fire visuals, with replies praying for safety and speculating on causes. The thread emphasizes the spiritual disruption in a pious evening routine.
