    Just found this on youtube. Don't know if it was posted on here before. Thought I would share it here, people can see just how dangerous these things can be if things go wrong.

    WOW! That is bad! especially when they take off! They have a major force! They will rip you apart, When I was in High School, thee was a kid changing an Oxygen Bottle on an Oxyacetylene welder and it fell over and that take took off through 2 concrete walls! They patched the walls but wanted to make it a point to not do a very good job so all would know what happened. This is serous business. Stay safe.

    Yeah, there was an episode on mythbusters where they knocked the valve off of a oxy cylinder and it rocketed thru a concrete wall.

    Those people in the video especially the ones filming were a little close in my opinion. Especially if there was shrapnel flying around.

    Was that little white car, to the left rear of the exploding truck, involved in an accident with that truck? If not I guess they didn't want anyone to take their front row view of the pyrotechnics.

    It was not acytilene, it was LPG in 10 gal tanks. It happened in Moscow this summer.
