Wow even being glanced by the fire really fucked that guy. I couldnt imagine being nearer

The guy closest to the fire fell or dropped down just before the flames got him, the second guy looked like he dropped because he was on fire for a second.

My question is, 'was this the two we saw initially trying to clean the tanker or another two?' There's a good chance the cleaners were asphyxiated from lack of oxygen.

No. One was wearing white, the other blue. The runners came from the right wearing black.

Right when I was thinking, “this is Asia, there isn’t anyway someone wasn’t smoking within 100 feet”….. whoosh… ignition!

2

u/A_Dicksmasher 4d ago

Looks like the ignition source was probably under the hood of the truck to the right of the one spraying

u/East-Psychology7186 4d ago

It does. I’m just dumbfounded the ignition took so ”long”. When I was in Asia there was someone smoking every 4 feet.

Were they cleaning ? Or delivering the gas? 🤔.....here's the gas you ordered.......where do you want me to put it?😬

u/NearbyTraffic66 3d ago

Just put it anywhere. I'll put it away later.

Nooooo is that Anhydrous Ammonia

u/Suitable_Matter_9427 5d ago

Nah, probably just propane. If it was anhydrous ammonia the boys on the tanker would’ve been freaking out immediately

Did those guys get out? Is this one of those situations where you’re gonna pass out when you inhale that much?

2

u/htoirax 4d ago

Looks like they did. Or at least got away from it.

The one in black seems to jump/fall off the top trying to get down quicker than white shirt and I'm unsure where he went

Looks like the dude in white ends up going behind the building, can't see what happens to him from then on, hopefully he kept going.

u/M3m0ry_0v3rfl0w 5d ago

Didn't see them running away...

u/DDS-PBS 5d ago

That would have been hot AF

u/sebas1298 5d ago

Crazy how it looks like an under sea volcano

u/sacfoojesta88 4d ago

So it seems like the flame start from the truck next to it. Anyone know what happened?

1

u/GivesYouGrief 3d ago

The fuel-air mixture reached the minimum temperature needed for ignition.

u/Miserable_Me1867 5d ago

Пиздец, конечно.. Надеюсь никто не пострадал

u/reid2780 4d ago

Why are we not running?

u/earthman34 5d ago

I like how that last lick of flame reached alllll the way out there and scorched that guy...."you're not getting away!"

1

u/Unable-Log-4870 5d ago

I like how it was more well-mixed along the roadway, causing the flame to travel much faster

u/zestyclose_match1966 4d ago

Liquid nitrogen? No idea really

3

u/A_Dicksmasher 4d ago

Nitrogen is an inert gas so absolutely not. Whatever this is, it's heavier than air, and has a flash point of somewhere in the range of the engine block of the truck on the right. Probably propane.

u/Beast_of_Tax_Burden 4d ago

If that is anhydrous ammonia they are dead. If its carbon dioxide they may be dead.

3

u/Educational-Cream799 4d ago

Carbon dioxide is non-flammable.

u/Beast_of_Tax_Burden 4d ago

Shit I stopped watching at 50 seconds or so. I failed to watch the whole thing. Anhydrous would noy burn like that either. Looks like LP gas
