It's Safer by Rail

This is a Russian gas bottle truck involved in an accident and all the gas bottles bleve one after the other. The truck driver was unhurt because as soon as the accident happened he got out and ran into the woods to the right. I counted 38 individual explosions. Usually there is a valve to stop the bleve effect. As the gas pressure rises due to the heat the gas usually escapes via the valve. It didn't happen in this case so as the pressure rose the cylinders rupture in spectacular fashion. It safer by rail.
