Five workers were seriously injured in an explosion at a cooking gas tank filling factory in Bang Sao Thong district of Thailand’s Samut Prakan province last night (Monday).

 

According to reports from firefighters, who were the first to arrive, a group of workers were transferring the liquefied petroleum gas from a large tank into cylinders immediately before the explosion.

 

It is thought that gas might have leaked out during the filling process and a spark triggered the explosion.

I'd say that was a safe bet.

A couple of years ago I was getting a gas bottle filled at a shop in Phra Khanong.  The guy who started filling the bottle had a cigarette dangling from his mouth.  I couldn't believe it.  I got very far away very quickly.

Bone deep stupidity.

I wonder how many times some guys last words were: "Got a light?"
