Exploding Caravan...

I wonder what this guy was carrying?  Surely its more than his gas cylinders, as you can see exploding cannisters flying well after the initial explosion.....

Gday...

Are you sure it was/is a caravan?

It looks like a truck of some kind carrying many "gas cylinders" ... and it ran up the back of a bus/motorhome/camper.

So, was it the truck carrying the "gas cylinders" or the bus/motorhome/camper that exploded first. After that it appears to be mayhem.

Certainly looks like "cylindrical objects" flashing all over the place on fire like little rockets. The massive explosions that followed are a puzzle.

cheers - John

Judging by the color of the cylinders,I think maybe acetylene?

They look like acetylene bottles, They explode when the acetylene gets over 15 PSI,

 I agree. Acetylene bottles have a "safety" plate on the bottom that is designed to let go if over heated.
