Is Acetylene an air type of gas or liquid?

You shoulda just real quick drove through it. You may have made it...

Can anyone tell me what acetylene is & why it was exploding like that, making weird noises. Thanks.

[Fentanyl3]

acetylene is a gas created when calcium carbide and water are allowed to react. acetylene is used in cutting torches welding torches and in the synthesis of other chemicals.

In this particular incident judging by the repeated explosions, it was a delivery truck hauling maybe up to 200 different cylinders containing Oxygen, Argon, Hydrogen, Helium, CO2, Propane, Nitrogen, R22, and MAPP Sometimes even fluorine and chlorine

Most of the explosions would be Axy and Oxy that's mostly what they carry

[cwazmann1]

Thanks for the info. Just watching it seems intense. But those cars just keep driving through like nothing. Crazy shit!

[Fentanyl3]

This the same city that lat me lay in the street dieing from a crotch rocket wreck in the west bank. The guy that hit me came back to check on me. people simply drove around me and one person almost drove over me. Someone ended up calling an ambulance, I couldnlt move or talk, and had a phone in my hand anyone could have used it.

[superpsilocybin]

It's a gas used in welding, combines with oxygen to make oxy-acetylene. Highley explosive.

[cwazmann1]

Unbelievable!! Those idiots drive off like nothing. Those explosions we're intense! Glad dude stayed a far distance cause he would've got killed.

[torofighter]

Those acetylene tanks will destroy anything in their path. They are like rockets.
