When a Gas tanker is burning, it will explode... so.. before it does...

True. It is the overpressure.

Sweet baby jesus and the orphans. That was mental.

look at the shockwave!

If you ever have the opportunity to attend a public educational event by your local police department bomb squad -- go see it!

We all know what something on fire looks like, and we understand a normal fire. But the concussive blast is outside of our experience unless we have experienced it.

Knowledge about what really happens in an explosion like the one in the video may help save your life, and the lives of others.

I noticed after posting that youtube that the security cam footage seemed to stutter more in that report from RT than when I first saw it on the news here, so posting another one that seemingly streams more correct and gives a more real time impression of the events. This also shows more of the aftermath damages.


Several firefighters/rescue workers died btw.

(In Spicoli voice Fast Times at Ridgemont High voice): "Woahhh...righteous!"

While looking for more footage of the OP blast I found this similar event (as in tanker explodes and people need to get the f away fast) that apparently happened a week ago in China too. Talk about lucky escapes....

after clicking on the video, press 8 for Michael jackson

They were far enough away. It didn't seem to even rock the cars or shatter/rattle any windows.

Sounds like a chicken coop on that bus.

Godzirra!!!!

mental note made for future reference. thank you.

Holy Shit! Now I'll be a nervous wreck in a line of cars behind a wreck on the interstate after seeing those videos.

Lol

That is the point!!! GTFO and RUN!!!
