Who doesn't love a good explosion? As long as it is on video, and a long way away, that is.
BLEVE = Boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion. This is why I don't like propane. Even when it is not under high pressure, things can go wrong.
It isn't really funny, as 6 people were injured, one of them seriously. The manager of the gas station has been detained under a criminal investigation.
This is the StacheD video LPG Tanker Explosion: Routine Delivery to BLEVE! This took place at a gas station in Pyatigorsk, Russia, which is in southern Russia, roughly 110 miles east of the Black sea, and about 65 miles north of the border with Georgia.
When you're unloading a tanker, there's well established safety protocols for a reason. When those protocols get skipped or the equipment isn't up to standard, you don't get a second chance to fix it.
The video is about four and a half minutes. (I love StacheD videos; they are entertaining and I learn stuff.)
