Unless tampered with or something goes horribly wrong, a modern propane tank will not explode even if sitting in a full-on fire. The safety and relief devices built in will prevent explosion. Sure, the contents will catch fire when released but a flat out explosion? Hardly likely. but nnot impossible.
True but it may have leaked into the cabin in which case the whole RV blew up, sort of like a gas leak in a house.
From the picture it was a hell of a lot more than a propane tank. That is some wide spread destruction.
Meth lab?
“a modern propane tank will not explode even if sitting in a full-on fire”
This is something I have been aware of theory wise for years. This theory was proven fact when vandals set fire to a neighbor’s small garage containing a tractor and a couple small propane bottles. The wooden structure burned to complete ashes. The tractor’s gas tank did not explode. The propane bottles were still standing upright with no evidence of rupturing.
Hollywood has us conditioned to believe that a propane bottle will explode merely by shooting a bullet into it. Similarly, all cars that go off a cliff explode. In essence, this is another form of dumbing us down.
“Unless tampered with or something goes horribly wrong....”
It did. By simple deduction there were shots fired on Christmas day at 5:30 a.m. in a downtown area of a major city where no one would be. The cops had to respond. and the device went off about the time they got there with the initial response, I think prematurely. I think it was a setup attack on the police from some idiot that is a supporter of defunding the cops. So since they aren’t worth much in his pea sized mind, he tried to murder them.
