Could be White Nationalist terror - best to round up all the white people in town just to be safe.
So what can explode in a water tank? Accumulation of methane?
Hold mah Beer and watch me weld?
How in the world does 100% of the circumferential weld fail instantaneously? You’d expect a localized failure, not the entire weld holding the tank to the base to let god at once. Was the entire tank 100% full and they kept pressurizing it? Are there no pressure safety valves?
How often do water tanks fail like that?
That is one of the most incredible failure videos I’ve seen.
What was the explosive gas in the tank?
Wow. I was expecting a water HEATER tank, a la Mythbusters, where overpressurization turns a heater tank into one of those water rockets from when we were kids.
I saw a yellow flash near the top of the tank suggesting it was a bomb blast.
Wow
“A chlorine bomb is a small explosive device which uses the pressure of chemically produced chlorine gas or other chlorine-containing gases such as hydrogen chloride to produce an explosion. The reaction produces an expansive increase in pressure, eventually rupturing the container.”
Just goes to show how important the infrastructure bill is to the nation. Building falling down, pedestrian bridge collapsing and now a watertank blowing up. See!? Who could possibly argue against the bill now?
Wow!
Must have had a gas leak somewhere but you would think they could smell the gas.
