The explosion was heard miles away. At Pineda Crossing, near the Suntree subdivision, John Panik said he was having trouble sleeping, got out of bed and turned on the television just before 3 a.m.
"I was sitting there and suddenly there was a loud boom. It shook the windows not like a big rattle, but a little one. I thought, Thats not normal" - John Panik.
The clock read 3:30 a.m. Panik called the Brevard County Sheriffs Office, and was told by dispatcher theyd send a deputy out to check out the area.
