Explosion of a gas tanker in Mexico City
J
“Hope that’s not a flammable gas!” “Holy shit”
I
Saw the spread and was like cool not flammable probably co2 should be OK then heard the ignite and was oh shit. Edit: I know co2 would still be deadly but compared to the explosion it wasnt as dangerous at the start of the video. Any large cloud of mystery gas should be avoided.
P
A giant cloud of Co2 would still suffocate people, if you ever see any mysterious low hanging cloud or fog then run the opposite direction
B
Hasn’t there been a few lakes that have released co2 in the past and quietly wiped out whole villages?
L
Yup. I believe it happens from the separation of calcium from carbon trioxide in limestone. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Nyos_disaster
O
Also happened in Russia in an indoor swimming pool. Some genius at a party decided to put large blocks of dry ice in the pool for a cool effect. The resulting CO2 hovering on the pools surface drowned a number of bathers.
G
We have a saying in my country that is basically “this party turned into a funeral”. I guess that’s literally what happened in that case.
R
Right, a party thrown by Russian influencers.
L
Holy shit. That is even worse.
D
This could also happen to Lake Kavu which has millions of people around it and is also one of the most active war zones in the world.
V
yes it’s awful
A
Also, notably, a cloud of CO2 will suffocate your engine… Trapping you in the gas.
V
I saw the movie Mist, you know I’m getting the fuck outta Dodge.
D
Just learned this at 80 years old!! How did I survive without knowing this?? And my dad was a Marine!
F
7% C02 will knock you out in a single breath. Alone it is not particularly dangerous if you can immediately be pulled out of the situation. Will end up with a headache. But if you remain in that situation for a few minutes, yes it is deadly.
N
Run away from the cloud, but also try to run upwind of the cloud, which might mean running in a less direct path away.
H
> Any large cloud of mystery gas should be avoided. Sage advice, random internet person
C
A cloud of CO2 like that is NOT OK. It will kill you if you are inside of it.
D
I couldn’t figure out what all that fog was on the ground! So, now I know…’mystery gas’ really dangerous!
L
what if galaxy gas?
T
“Hope that’s foam for fire suppression” “Oops”
[
inflammable means flammable? what a country!
B
Did you go to Hollywood upstairs medical college too?
N
And that’s another highway down there too, horrific
B
I was gonna give the cameraman shit for missing the explosion until I realized they were probably more concerned for their literal life
S
Honestly the dramatic shot in the side mirror was pretty lit
H
“Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.”
S
Lit, lol 🔥
S
You also may have noticed that they’re driving the vehicle.
M
Seeing the explosion first in the mirror is cinematic as hell. “Found footage” film makers, take note.
T
That’s fair. I guess.
S
Cool guys don’t look at explosions. They turn their backs and they walk away.
I
Or drive
S
self preservation over internet points? What has this world come to! /s yeah good on them, can’t imagine how hot that must have been.

O
The aftermath video of the people on the ground was post-apocalyptic. Looked like a warzone after they napalmed it.
S
Pretty hard to unsee that video. It is horrifying.
D
No excuse 😤
D
Some of you may fry, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make…
D
Also you can hear the cars honking at him at the end to fucking get to driving instead of filming
B
Sorry, no excuses. /r/killthecameraman *
D
What’s a camer?
B
carp
R
“Well, time to go.”
D
A small sacrifice he could have considered
U
Killthecameraman?
A
Umm… for the awesome intro mirror shot I′d say no.
C
The next best thing to walking away in slow motion without looking back.
R
Very cool mirror shot.
