Russia, They were welding when the gas cylinder exploded. Both victims received severe burns to their bodies. One of them died in intensive care, and doctors are fighting for the life of the other.

That's crazy. I've never known that to happen. I'm guessing their gas cylinder was leaking.

I've heard of that happening, but not exploding. I believe it usually will just become a huge flame thrower, maybe shoot the cylinder across the building.

Most farms and small shops have some type of equipment for welding and cutting metals.

Acetylene is the most commonly used fuel gas. Acetylene is very flammable and hazardous, and can ignite at a wide range of concentrations.

Oxygen won’t burn or explode, but it helps other objects burn at greater rates. Gases are stored in cylinders which can rupture.

A cylinder containing compressed gas can shoot through the air like a rocket if its valve is damaged or broken.

Acetylene is highly unstable. High pressure or temperatures can result in decomposition that can result in fire or explosion.

The acetylene gas in the cylinder is dissolved in acetone which is absorbed by the porous mass.

There are a number of incidents each year where a flashback into an acetylene cylinder triggers decomposition, leaving the cylinder in a dangerous, unstable condition, which can lead to an explosion.

If they cut or punctured that tank it would blow.

... Please don't tell me they were welding a full tank of highly flammable gas?

This vid has everything but a few dogs and a rooster crowing.

I wonder if they knew their setup was sketchy.
