Family members were sent flying after a gas stove exploded as they sat down to eat together.

The clip showed the family seated around a circular table as they tucked into an array of dishes.

They suddenly noticed flames appearing from a mini stove on the table.

A huge gas blast then filled the air.

One woman managed to get to her feet while several others were able to turn their heads in time.

But two men were knocked off their seats with one of them ending up on the street.

Another man in a dark blue T-shirt appeared to take the full brunt of the blast in his face.

The gas canister was seen burning in the corner of the patio after flying through the air when it blew up.

The explosion took place in the district of Vinh Loi located south of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam at around 5.20pm on 2 March.

Homeowner Hoang Duy said the gas stove exploded after he prepared a nice meal for relatives and neighbours.

He told local media: “While we were eating, everyone could smell leaking gas and started to move away.

“However, when the gas stove exploded, a man in a dark blue T-shirt suffered burns to his entire face and hands.

“A woman next to him had burn injuries to her hands.

“And another guy suffered burns to his face.”

He added that they all went to the local hospital to have their injuries checked.

No one was seriously injured in the explosion.

The video went viral on social media with over 6 million views, as reported by Need To Know.

One local said: “I hope no one was badly hurt.”

Another added: “The man in the blue shirt didn’t seem to be able to dodge it in time, I hope he’s okay.”

A third remarked: “I wonder if that guy is okay, the flames went straight into his face.”
