That's funeeeee.

Makesme wonder if they actually knew it was propane in the tank, or had someone filled an odd tank with gas. You would think they would be inclined to actually use any gas they got.

And to be honest, it makes me wonder if it was gas at all. Surely gas under pressure would try to escape all at once. That looked more like a liquid to me.

I reckon someone had filled an air tank with petrol, or some such stuff, and it had got warm in the sun, and presurised.

That's the sort of thing we should be doing at the BBB ...

Guess the contents of a tank using only a cutting torch.

Sounds like a fun game.

Did you hear about the British WWll bomb that was unearthed in BKK, late last year?
All over the news, pictures of it in the ground, and transported to the scrap yard.
Three days later, there is an almighty explosion in Bangkok, the scrapyard has decided to cut the bomb up with OxyAcetylene.  Vaporised at least six people, and rattled the shed up a good bit.
The blast must have gone straight up, it should have levelled everything three streets away.
Now that really is dumb.

Daily Fail report.
