Secure them gas bottles fellas!

Not trains but perhaps more like rockets.

Unbelievable. What an amazing video. Thank you for getting my day started with a bang.

WOW!!!

At 2:48 one launches for Russia!

Lets just stand here and make a cell call. Oh CRAP, that was close; maybe I should move back :slight_smile:

That is a good reminder of what could happen when one of those trucks go zipping past on the highway. Was anyone in that car that was so close? why wouldn’t they back it up?

Maybe they ran away. I noticed the driver hightailed very early in the video. I think he may have singed the hairs on his legs, he had shorts on. Maybe he was the same guy next to the truck later in the foreground.
I reckon if he stayed in his truck he would be toasted!

This was quite timely. Just after watching it the boss asked me to go get a 40lb propane tank filled and take it to a job site in my car. This isn’t something I’ve never done, but when I move my own tanks in the car, I have a milk crate that fits the base to keep it stable and two tie down straps to keep it from tipping. Of course, all of that was at home, so I did the best I could with what I had and didn’t go looking for trouble!

STILL TOO CLOSE!

Somebody wanted me to carry one of those in my pickup once. I refused. Then somebody showed up who had a rack to secure it properly.

Another candidate for the ‘Darwin Awards’!

This text from the Youtube site version should give some insight…

“This was an accident that occurred in Russia. Russians have dash cams in order to provide additional evidence in court due to guard against police corruption and insurance fraud.”

:wink:

Proof of that, thinking about getting a GoPro for my car for the same reasons, too many idiots on the roads here.

Vic, 1:20 got what he deserved

Thanks for the stamps, arrived safelty

We had a bottle go off on us in a garage fire. It blew the whole wall out then the roof dropped on us. Luckily we were on the other side of the car. The second time someone had oxy acetylene torches in their basement. They didn’t shut the tank off and the acetylene leaked out until it found the pilot light for the hot water heater. That one blew when we were about 20 feet away. The last fire I was on had a 100 pound propane tank that blew up. Now that was cool. Luckily, no one was in the building because we wouldn’t have walked away from that one.

Scary and cool at the same time, never did like propane or natural gas, it’s fairly safe till it goes wrong then it goes waaaay wrong. Had a explosion at a local trailer park recently every one smelled gas for a few days before then BOOM and 1 dead. State investigator found numerous safety issues after the fact!

Holy carp!

I remember seeing one on TV a few years ago, it was a fire at a place that fills propane and/or acetylene tanks. The tanks were getting blown all over the neighborhood and nearby freeway, and then exploding.
