I've heard stories about guys using cutting torches on old gas tanks and blowing themselves to smithereens,it helps to take a good careful look at what your working on.Otherwise you might end up with a real suprise!

I was a helicopter crew chief, and I saw a Sergeant First Class stand up onthe roof of a Huey that had rotor blades still spinning enough to throw him a long way distroying his front teeth and breaking his nose and some face bones.
He was tired, and not paying attention. You have to always assume the worst when handling potentially dangerous equipment. As a boy I pointed a still loaded handgun in my Dad's direction, and the negative effect that had on my rear-end and use of my twenty-two cal. rifle is still a vivid memory to me. ;-)

I saw it happen. I was working at a scrap metal yard while still in school and this guy, a drug addict, cut into a gas tank on an old 1940's flatbed truck. that old gasoline blew up real good !!! It shook the building and sent up a black mushroom cloud. The moron got caught by the police in the bathroom shooting up H, when they couldn't find him in the yard to make a report. doh !
