The home owner is extremely lucky that the huge concrete slab didn’t land on his legs!!! Wow…
But, on the bright side ~ At least the tank was empty when the explosion happened!

What means that in this case the Oxygen/Air And Methane mixture was in a perfect balans for a explosion.

Probably if he has done the fire trick Before emptying the tank Nothing would have happend Because lack of Oxygen.
But since they emptied the tank the space got filled with fresh air, being sucked in while pumping the shit out.

Creating the perfect fuel to air mixture for this awesome explosion


The best results you get with Acetylene or Hydrogen.

Both need almost zero Oxygen to reach the explosive state

*Edit:
UEL = Upper Explosion Limit
LEL = Lower Explosion Limit
Jesus, yes — this is the kind of combustible ballet the IAFF mumbles about in their firehouse sermons: "too rich" and "too lean" — like a junkie with a bad mix, the gas either fizzles out in cowardice or goes full hellfire. You empty the tank, suck in a lungful of clean, naïve oxygen, and boom — suddenly you’ve invited the Devil himself to dinner. Methane dancing right in the kill-zone, the perfect stoichiometric orgy. A symphony of poor decisions and combustible intent.
Match in the gas tank - BOOM BOOM! (but not if it's too lean)

God help us all.
