Sometimes I wonder why people don't just rip the raw footage from these sorts of incidents. But I guess this way it's easier to remain anonymous without effort...?

It's much easier than to open the video file, import it to video editor and cut the part where the accidents happened

I'm not sure their brains have the cappabilities to do that

Dropping fully charged gas cylinders is always a bad idea but, even so, they shouldn't explode like that. Those things look rusty and have probably never been pressure tested since the day they were bought.

Also you never lay gas or oxygen bottles on their side because doing so can destabilize their contents.

This applies most specifically to acetylene cylinders.

True but it's not a good practice to get into.

For that reason I strongly suspect that's actually what we are looking at here

Which could explain the "rusty" appearance. Acetylene cylinders are generally ochre red. I would have expected a much bigger fireball though.

May have been mostly empty which is why they were so sloppy in storing them. God I hope they don't store full ones that way

Skip to 1:30 for the money shot.

Pretty sure the the dropped cylinder caused a chain-reaction and exploded the other cylinders as well. Surprising that only 2 people died.

Workers are people who work in exchange for monetary compensation.

FTFY, workers are people whose surplus value is extracted by the capitalist class in exchange for wages.
