A survivor of the devastating 2015 East Village gas explosion that killed two and leveled three buildings told jurors Tuesday how he crawled through the rubble to reach safety.

Jose Gomez, who worked as a cook at the ground-floor restaurant Sushi Park, said there was an overpowering gas odor before a massive blast knocked him to the ground.

When he opened his eyes, he said, “You couldn’t see anything, just dust — the ceilings were falling, everything was destroyed.”

He added, “There was a hole where I saw light and we crawled little by little toward it.”

The 33-year-old testified through a Spanish interpreter at the Manhattan Supreme Court trial of landlord Maria Hrynenko, contractor Dilber Kukic and unlicensed plumber Athanasios “Jerry” Ioannidis, who face manslaughter and other charges.

Prosecutors have argued that the defendants illegally diverted gas from 119 Second Ave. to 121 Second Ave., both buildings owned by Hrynenko, which caused the explosion and catastrophic blaze.

Gomez said he suffered permanent ear and eye damage. His co-worker, Moises Locon, and restaurant patron, Nicholas Figueroa, were killed and at least 13 others, including Gomez, were injured.

The defense has argued that there isn’t enough evidence to prove that the illegal gas hook-up caused the blast.

The trial continues Wednesday before Justice Michael Obus.
