sandrabbit Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 As the truck is facing the wrong way he must have spun it, why can't they employ careful drivers to do gas, fuel deliveries etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGW Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Reminds me of an accident that happened many years ago in central Bangkok, a truck carrying gas bottles was involved in an accident, the bottles ignited, end result was, if I remember correctly 263 dead - quite horrendous !

Almer Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Who asked what could go wrong they are only gas canisters, a fire in an adjoining factory unit some years ago caused an issue, it was mentioned to the head firefighter that 4 or 5 gas cylinders were stored there, an immediate halt took place and a different take took place, there was an almighty bang and the next day 2 fields away the top section of a cylinder was found peeled like a banana, so to who ever asked what could go wrong, not much.????????
