An eyewitness told CheshireLive how they saw someone running from the scene and feeling a 'shockwave' as they were in the adjacent Zizzi's at the time. They said: "It was like a shockwave. I didn't hear an explosion like you might see in films. It was like you could sense it. I got the feeling that something was over-pressurizing.
"There was a weird pressure in the air before I saw it happen. I looked and saw a piece of the building coming off. It sounded like someone had dropped some scaffolding poles.
"It was only six feet away - if it was any bigger then it could have come through the window of Zizzi. I saw a man running from the falling debris and could see he had severe burns. My thoughts are with all those who have been injured."
Cadent were also called to the scene last night to make the area safe. Jenny Moten, director of Cadent’s North West Network, said: "Cadent has supported the multi-agency response to last night’s incident in Chester, as the gas emergency service for the area.
