Yup, we all saw "Trial by Fire", and it never failed to get my attention. We saw it in boot-camp and at every Shipboard and Aircraft fire-fighting school I attended. They used to show it periodically on the ship's Training Channel.

Every see the "The man from LOX"? Mandatory viewing for those of us that worked around liquid oxygen.

I saw it once and I'll never forget it. Especially the Safety Officer. I doubt if it is still shown. Too Un-PC.

Yeah. I saw “The Man From LOX”...great training video...did you ever hear the story of how it happened? (this is the story I heard)

It was hot, and the guy wanted to cool off by putting the vent fumes from the LOX into his coveralls...so he unbuttoned it, stuck the end of the hose in and let it vent. Then he went off to have a cigarette...when he lit the match...boom.

That is what I heard, don’t know if it is true or not, but sounds plausible.
