Stunning video captures the moment a man miraculously manages to walk off after strolling into the path of an exploding sidewalk grate in Queens. <\/p>\n

Barry West was on Farmers Boulevard in St. Albans around 5:30 p.m. Thursday when a massive plume of smoke and flames shot up from underground \u2014 knocking him backwards to the ground as he tried to walk by, the disturbing clip obtained by NBC New York<\/a> shows.\u00a0<\/p>\n

West \u2014 who was going to pay his cell phone bill \u2014 managed to get up after the blast and walk off in the opposite direction, according to the report.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He was taken to Nassau University Medical Center with second-degree burns, where loved ones said he is shaken but in good spirits.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cYou can see how God just picked him out of that fire. He staggered. He had his hands up and rubbed his head and fell,\u201d friend Carrol Hamblin told the network. \u201cJust a miracle. Nobody but God could do that. Not a man.\u201d<\/p>\n
