Now. I'm Sidney. New York City Police have released body cam video that captures the terrifying

moment a routine domestic violence call turned into a life-threatening explosion. It happened early Thursday morning at a residence

in Queens. Officers were responding to a 911 call involving a man with a knife, but as they

approached the front door to intervene, the entire front of the building was obliterated in a ball of fire.

In the video, you can see an officer attempting to use a key to enter the home when the blast literally knocks the responding units off their feet.

Here is that initial moment of chaos.

You know?

You know?

You all right?

The guy just lit the house on fire.

We got an explosion.

Despite being thrown to the ground and suffering burns and lacerations, those officers didn't retreat.

Commissioner Jessica Tisch says that in that moment of total uncertainty, officers chose to move forward into the fire.

The footage shows them rushing toward the mangled remains of the apartment to pull residents

to safety, including several young children who were caught in the middle of this nightmare.

Cut it up, please.

Have some to me.

Have some to me.

I can't breathe.

Make kick, get me! I can't breathe!

Kidd Kidd Kriks!
