Maggie’s Truck Explosion

[CamW]

Here's a video of a truck fire from Germany, I'm guessing it was carrying acetylene and /or propane judging by the jets of flame and flying bottles!
Watch it to the end when people start walking closer thinking all the excitement is over.

37 explosions. It took about a dozen explosions before one idiot even decided moving his car might be a good idea...even with debris flying around after some of the explosions.

It's propane bottles, you can see the jets from the pressure relief valves opening. Acetylene bottles don't have relief valves.

Dang cops! Roll right the hell up in the middle of things. Then "shit, I'm too close!"

Not quite sure that is correct. I've seen 'burst disks' and 'fusible plugs' on bottles. Can't remember now which is ones are where, but I know of NO portable pressure vessels that hold industrial gasses that don't have a 'vent' of some sort.....

Dont think its in Germany either. Its labeled in German, but I dont think its in Germany. Siren on police vehicle wasnt right, the language spoken in the video is not German, and the traffic signs dont look like what was in Germany last time I was there.

Now that's my type of entertainment while commuting. Sure beats listening to lame ass Stern on the radio!

At about the five minute mark you see a billboard on the left, looks possibly Russian to me...
