    1:32 and 1:44 clearly show an Amerigas bbq bottle, which holds 4.6 gallons (20 lbs). And you saw how much force was generated when another tank, presumably that same size, blew up.

    Now imagine what would happen if the 1,000 gallon tank behind your house - or the 11,600 gallon trailer I pulled yesterday - exploded.

    Moving companies have banned carrying propane tanks in their trailers for ears for this reason. And I'm sure the truck rental companies are the same. That guy better have some insurance that covers "stupid".

    The report quotes a Penske spokesperson with that exact information.
    Forget about the common sense. I mean, how many times have you seen the sign "Do Not Bring Propane Tanks into the Store"
