Default Praxair Explosion

Praxair Explosion.....

Here is News story about explosion at Praxair facility ....

Remember some of the gasses we use are also common to welding and other commercial uses... This facility most likely fills tanks or supplies these gasses to us...

What is especially interesting is in this video (link below) is about 10 to 15 seconds into shot (just after helicopter flys through) is to see gas cylinder flying through air end over end.... Also each "burst of flame" is another flammable gas cylinder exploding...

Dale,

I watched this on the news. Even though I am using a generator which makes me feel more comfortable, I have always had a very healthy respect for any type of gas because it only takes the right series of events to have an unexpected explosion. People drive with their seatbelt on because of unforeseen accidents and they should realize that the propane tank is dangerous whether you are on the barbeque, torch or it is just sitting doing nothing.

Thank you.

Barb
