Not a lot of smart people there, those cylinders can travel for hundreds of yards. Nothing like a facefull of red hot steel to ruin your day.

@ 2.20 yeah guys we got a truck burning over here and some fukin redneck burning way way over there somewhere in the trees

[lakewood85]

That is beautiful!!!

[jimgreene68]

I guess the fire trucks got there just in time to put the pavement out lol. I dont think there was much left of that pick-up when they got there lol.

Big loud explosion: very exciting!

Still, I'd be backing the heck out of there once the relief valves started erupting.

@mhillyer99 , dentures, LOL! I'll bet they were melting and dripping, if not ashes! What the heck was in the bed of that burning pickup, anyway? Acetylene welding tanks or something? Just curious. I saw several BLEVEs, along with a lot of venting of some kind of flammable gas. But it's the tanks that don't vent that are ticking time bombs. If one of those tanks had hit you, it could have been fatal.

[mhillyer99]

they were forklift cylinders

[lonewolfintj]

@mhillyer99 : Reminds me of an incident at the place where I used to work. An employee incorrectly attached a fuel tank to a forklift. When he opened the valve, a huge white plume of vaporizing LNG gushed from the connection between tank and forklift. When he tried to close the valve, it jammed! We all ran for our lives! Thankfully, no one ambled in with a lit cigarette! After a couple hours, the tank bled dry and the gas dissipated with no fire or explosion. Whew!

LMAO!! I love how that dude sittin on his car gets in it and backs the fuck out of there after the first tank blew XD
