    I have had them fail before but not explode like this, good it was just a storage trailer I had to move from the yard to a dock. Happened about halfway in the dock ,I managed to push it in there

    The other three are ticking time bombs. I'd be extremely cautious around them or just avoid all together.

    Ive had a couple do that. Usually its heavy corrosion or a failed weld. Saw it occasionally out in the oilfields when the cans were constantly covered in chemicals salt and worse that ate into them over time.

    That could’ve ended badly if somebody’s face were near it at the time. :eek:
