car explodes lead Plumbers acetylene bottle leaks... big splosion (10 Photos)

One of the funniest blogs out there is Ernie’s House of Whoopass (EHOWA). He found this gem today. Apparently a plumber had a faulty acetylene bottle in his van. It ignited and blew the cul-de-sac all to hell.

    That is my paranoia, big time. I work with oxy-acetylene tanks once a week or so, in small enclosures. I’m still not past flinching every time i strike up a torch nearby.

    We had a house blow up in the little town I grew up in in Wisconsin. Killed one guy, blew manhole covers off the roads for 5 blocks around the house.

    This happened in Melbourne, Australia. It happened at the plumbers house, from memory they went to open it in the morning with the remote control lock, and the oxy acetylene gas had been leaking overnight and you can see what happened. The two dudes who were opening it didnt get injured though.

    Leaking valve is possible, but more likely someone didn’t turn the valve off the night before.
