that was a risky click (can't believe there isn't a sub for that) but it was safe! just a little ball of fire, she pulled it out and set it to the side and everything was fine.
That being said she got very lucky.

The tugging at the sweater itself would not have built nearly enough static to produce an arc strong enough to ignite it.
The video shows the date, it's February 12, no snow, she's a bit cold. That means cold dry air. So, sure the potential required for the static arc goes down, but not enough to spark that.
The car body, on the other hand, 100% had a much higher charge on it from driving at car speeds in dry air, AND she never discharged the car after getting in it and puffing on her cigarette, which, I also can't see, but may have been in her hand for all I know.
You gotta touch the car body when you get out of the car folks, most of you do this automatically when you close the door, which she clearly didn't do.
Hmmmmm. It should. I'm going to re watch it now. Because of that really good point, I'm more inclined to say the cigarette was still in her hand rather than static.
I literally said, "No, no, no, NO!" when I saw her start trying to take the pump out of her car. She got sooooo close to an agonizing burn or death. Omg, I need to recover from this video. 😮💨
That's so dangerous. Gas stations should be banned.
That’s probably true🤷
Once they have been filled once they are never truly empty.
Even then, it's much safer to assume they are full than gambling on them being empty. Dangerous goods transport regulations don't differentiate for a reason
If they're brand new that would be fine, if they have been used, it may be even more dangerous because they're full of trace fumes.
Whoa that's way too simple.
Point #4: definitely not minutes. 3-5 sec "maybe" but realistically I give it 1-2s max.
1. Cutting Time with an Oxy-Acetylene Torch:
• For a small, standard propane tank (like a 20 lb tank), cutting with an oxy-acetylene torch might take about 5-10 minutes, depending on experience, tank thickness, and careful management of the torch.
• Cutting thicker or larger tanks would take longer, but the time should be similar for standard consumer propane tanks.
Lmao tell me you have no idea what you're talking about without telling me. You probably prompted an AI that got confused and tried to tell you you'd get 5-10 min of burn time out of a small set of tanks.
First off the dude in the pic is welding. You can see the grounding clamp on the back of the truck. Welding sparks are white, torches are usually orange. And to get a welder to hit gas inside of a tank... 1-2 seconds.
If somehow those are torches in the picture, you can get oxy torches through the (up to) 2mm thickness of those tanks in no time (maybe like 1-2 seconds). Here's a video of a guy cutting though 1/4" ~6mm in seconds, for reference: https://youtube.com/shorts/JLijFDI-qgA
I agree with your overall point that this is relatively harmless, but points 5 and 6 are false.
Eeh, just because something can happen doesn’t mean it will, if they were punctured somehow that allowed all the gas to escape at once sure, but we are talking about a literal slow burn, the initial hole will be smaller than the hole on the torch that itself is spraying gas(or not but it’s irrelevant) unless after it starts spraying a torch in your face you continue to burn it it will never get big enough to explode and even then the gas will probably all escape or at least depressurize by time you get through it.
I maintain that it wouldn’t set off a chain reaction Though, this isn’t a Movie.
This is absolutely a safety rule violation that shouldn't even fit in someone's head. But, playing Satan's proponent, what if they were certain the tanks were all empty? Would it still be dangerous?
Empty but having once been filled is more dangerous than full.
New and empty is a different story.
Why is empty but history of being filled more dangerous than full?
I could be remembering wrong, but basically any remnants inside are unpressurized, so they're all vapor, easy to heat since there's less thermal mass, and ready to light if there's any oxygen.
Because the assumption that there's no danger, coupled with the fact there's now oxygen inside the tank, much more likely to be near the flammable or explosive ranges.
When full or in use you expect it to have fuel in it and usually take more care (obviously the welder isn't), and if a leak catches fire it then turns into a torch, until the tank overheats and bleve's (very unlikely that you don't notice the torch before the bleve)
The big risk of full is, you might have a steady leak that stays in the area, and then you ignite it somehow. But the likelihood is very low that it would get to the flammable or explosive ratio in open air like this.
Looks like he made a journey to the center of the Earth.

thanks for using Leebra!

Ok, here me out… wait wait just listen. This absolutely violates every Osha regulation in the book, no body is arguing that, but what I am about to argue is this is actually pretty safe.
