Anyone got a good video or two of acetylene or propane gas cylinders going off?

Thanks Piglet. Was trying to download one for training purposes. Looks like can't be done on youtube now, other than your own uploads. Am I right?

Both Real Player & the Download Converter Add-on that comes with Firefox allow you to 'rip' Youtube videos.

I've been much more naughtier in other ways Piglet so I'll take my chances.  ;)

Hi Nearlythere

Looks as though you have had a good reponse to your request

I have some photographs showing the size of fire balls produced from exploding LPG cylinders ranging from a cigarette lighter up to a large cylinder (not sure of the size). These are USA pictures but the the sizes are relevant let me know if they are of use.
