Ever wonder what a crash into a truck hauling propane gas cylinders is like? Video

Here you go.

Happened in Russia. ( land of the dash cameras. )

To bad there is no music, could use a good tune.

And no, I never wondered. I blame left lane bandits, he was FORCED to pass on the right. Wasn't there a USA one recently where an unsecured forklift (cargo) punctured the CNG tank and blowed things up killing the driver?

Un-BLEVE-able.

Damn that leaky cylinder skittering across the highway was cool to watch but I hope it never happens near me.

I actually thought it would be worse than it was. I would not have been comfortable as close as the filmer was. Lots of energy in a propane tank! The guy in the blue shirt was closer than I would have wanted to be too. If me I would have gotten over the concrete barrier asap then moved away asap. I cannot imagine there was much left of the truck after they all expended themselves.

The driver of the truck was foolhardy driving as fast as he was. I suppose he got fried.

The tank that went off like a rocket was pretty cool.

[engatwork]

Looks like a weapon of mass destruction to me.

You have to wonder what the driver of the propane truck was thinking. ...or doing.

Just like the effect W had on the country.

Bush's fault!

Looked like he fell asleep. He plowed into the van ahead of him and seemed to drift to the left before doing it. But it looked to me like he jumped out and ran to the other side of the highway and concrete divider.

Not sure I would have stayed as close as some of those in the vid. I kept expecting shrapnel.

[t walgamuth]

Yeah, it did look like he got out when I watched it again.

Americans have seen too many movies and TV shows were EVERYTHING explodes in a dramatic fashion and 9mm pistols produce entance holes the size that a .50 caliber machine gun makes.

A dumb teenage girl did that on I95 a few years ago, except it was a big truck and she managed to melt the steel bridge it was on, closing down the main east coast highway for a couple of weeks.

Texting! Its important!
