Any body see this? I saw it on the news up here.

something of that size, I wouldn't store that in the cab anyways.
poor tundra

 

I transport Scuba tanks all the time that have a higher working pressure than CO2 tanks but I don't store them in the cab. I think what probably happened is that a burst disk didn't do it's job. It's a pressure release valve that should blow before the tank does. Some people put double disks in them so they can pump the tank pressure up past the recommened limit. The downside is what happend in this case.

 

apparently the day exploded along with the truck. im suprised were still here!

"ATLANTA -- In northeast Atlanta on Wednesday, the hottest part of the day exploded."
