Rock CITY, Nev. — A transformer detonated Tuesday at Hoover Dam, creating a haze of thick, dark smoke and blazes that were immediately quenched. Nobody was harmed and power kept on moving from one of the country's biggest hydroelectric offices, specialists said.

"A ton of dark smoke merely detonated at intervals the air. It looked as if it would be a mushroom and in a while a fire followed," said Hero, World Health Organization announce radiotelephone video of it on TikTok. "I was truly shocked which i started recording."

The postings showed the blast happened at a structure somewhat downstream from the inspiration of the dam. The advanced is within the Black canon of the Colorado stream.

The reason for the fire is being scrutinized and it's not satisfactory the way that broad the harm was to the transformer.
