A young worker at the Great Lakes Dragway was using a blowtorch to cut a 55 gallon gas can in half. He thought it was empty. BOOM. The can rocketed into the air, injurying 2 people, as well as the torch bearer.

That must have been wild. INCOMING!!!!!!!
 
I don't think I would ever take a welder near a gas can, whether I thought it was empty or not! Betcha it was a site to see, though.
 
There is a certain procedure for clearing the fumes from the container.Obviously they didnt follow them.
