Highway to Hazmat Hell
We have all wondered what would happen if the oxygen and acetylene welding gas delivery truck had an accident in front of us.
Please view the video below for what actually happens. Turn up the sound and notice the rockets going off once lit. http://ihmusedparts.com/highway-hazmat-hell/ |

Re: Highway to Hazmat Hell
I used to drive a tractor-trailer for Matheson gas. carried all these cylinders and some really rare gasses and mixtures, along with liquid nitrogen, co2, nitrous, etc. From what I saw this was an accident waiting to happen. those cylinders were not secured properly! a little bump and they fell out. Holy crap on a cracker!
Now I drive a fuel oil truck, I really don't know what is worse. A lot of dangerous stuff out there on our roads.

Re: Highway to Hazmat Hell
I'm the safety guy at work. I think the guys need to see this. You could only imagine the concussion grenade effect of those acetylene cylinders going off.A balloon full of acetylene attached to a fuse is enough to blow out windows and knock someone down. It's nothing to mess with. Looks like an unsecured load was the reason for this.

Re: Highway to Hazmat Hell
Video is out of Russia, where everybody has dash cams to protect themselves from all the shenanigans. Not that it couldn't happen here, you just can't fix stupid.

Re: Highway to Hazmat Hell
If there is a gas bottle delivery truck on fire in front of me I'm leaving skid-marks out of there !!! Drivers in that video might have skid-marks in other places.
