It 'sounded like a volcano erupting'
Man hurt in kitchen explosion while unclogging drain; He is now partially blind with severe burns on chest, face

It was a Hari Raya weekend that went horribly wrong.
Mr Abdul Jamal Salam was trying to unclog his sink after a party at home when there was a sudden explosion.
The impact was so great that the 45-year-old was flung about a metre backwards and slammed into a cabinet.
The freak accident has left him partially blind and with severe burns on his chest and face.
His wife, Madam Saadiah Hadi, had been washing the dishes when she noticed the drain was clogged. She poured hot water into the sink but that didn't work.
That was when Mr Abdul Jamal poured declogger powder into the drain hole on the floor next to the sink.
The explosion could have been caused by the reaction of chemicals in the declogger and hot water, said a chemist.
Checks with NTUC FairPrice confirmed that the declogger used by Mr Abdul Jamal has been removed from supermarket shelves.
Investigations are underway, an NTUC FairPrice spokesman said.
