Re: Russia - Cement Truck Worker Killed In Explosion
Alot of people have alot to learn, that's not a cement truck at all. That's a tanker that hauls powder or grain type material, it's shaped like that to unload from the bottom into an underground vessel by gravity. The driver was on top loading the trailer.

Re: Russia - Cement Truck Worker Killed In Explosion
So it was a grain explosion. Hmm. When I was a kid I used to mix together a fine powder of sulfur and zinc dust to make solid rocket fuel for my model rockets. The zinc powder acted as the fuel and the sulfur acted as the oxidizer, and, man, did those rockets soar! My brother-in-law was fucking around and found out when he put a match in a pile of my home made rocket fuel then stepped back. When it didn't immediately ignite he stepped forward and POOF! He looked like Al Jolson in The Jazz Singer in blackface and actually had to go to the ER. I think something similar happened here in this video, but on a much grander scale of course  |
