holy hell !!! he is very VERY lucky to be alive
Hell yeah he's lucky. I read all the news articles at the welding shop when refill my tanks and see this stuff all the time. Idk why he drove it out of the garage if he could smell the gas......stupid.
Hmm... smells like gas... let me start my car and use some electronics while I wait for it to air out....
Who wants to bet he didn't have the safety cover on the tank?

Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.
WOW.
Good news is he is fine, and better news one less of those damn things on the road.

I'm gonna go ahead and say this one qualifies for a Darwin Award Honorable Mention,,,, Hmm, I left a gas cylinder in my car overnight, I get into the car, CLOSE THE DOOR, start the car, then proceed to drive it filled with gas vapor... IN WHAT UNIVERSE IS THAT A GOOD IDEA??? My first step would have been to open all the doors, open up the garage, and walk away for a good hour.

RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...
Another reason its actually illegal to transport cylinders in personal vehicles in IL. Even includes the propane cylinders for grills. People still do it but it is not legal in IL.
is it irony that the license plate says tonka toy?
Good lord. The body panels went flying.

I figured this was due to how the majority there drives, and the state's hatred for things that go boom.

if it goes boom wouldnt there be a resulting fire ball thus causing fire damage? surely SOMETHING would have stayed on fire after that....
ok ill go watch now. 
It's so fast very little heat is transferred to anything else. And explosions blow out flames.

^^ WOW.
and to think, I use oxy/acetylne torches all the time... its good to know that if one of them blows up, I'll at least die quickly.

lol yeah that gas is acctuall very very dangerous. my welding professor/ former pipe line welder told us about a lot of stories of what have happened with people being uneducated or careless with it.
