It’s not funny. My mom was horribly burned in such an explosion and I missed walking right into it by half a second.
it was unoderized wellhead gas in a gas drilling camp in the hills of Northern New Mexico back in 1956.
A friend, near here, of mine lost his sister to burns when she started up her washing machine kept in the well house of their farm. Mud daubers had blocked the vent that allowed natural gas in the well water to bleed off and the washroom was filled with unoderized natural gas.
It isn't? I think it's comedic gold.
Can't be true. Everybody knows nat gas only gets into well water as a result of fracking.
