Re: Fuel Truck Driver Burned to Crisp When His Vehicle Explodes Multiple Times
My thoughts exactly! But would truck tires detonate like THAT? We have seen/heard tires explode with anything near that level on DR. Except that one guy killed when he overinflated a tire, and I don't remember it had audio. Hmmm...maybe fill some truck tires with the correct oxygen/acetylene mixture and shoot them with a tracer bullet? |

Re: Fuel Truck Driver Burned to Crisp When His Vehicle Explodes Multiple Times
Semi truck tires have a shit tone (metric measurement) of air in them, and their cold pressure rating is 105psi. Add heat and they are probably around 150-200psi before they pop. That is a ton of potential energy that not only adds oxygen to the fire but also blew the fuel out to mix with ambient air. Other than the tires, the only other pressure vessels on a semi is the tank for the air brakes. Nothing else on a truck can “explode” other than the tires, and the cab alone has 10 tires to blow. |

It looks like his left hand was severed before he burned. Check it out. I bet that hand was hanging on by a glob of flesh and tendons and then after all the meat burned away it was left in that position. |
