There was an explosion near downtown Dallas today at welding company that's near the freeway I ride home on. It caused gridlock.

Check out this footage of all the acetylene tanks cooking off, and exploding..one after the other...too many to count. Pretty cool. Watch how far some of the debris flies.

Watch it full screen, so you see the guy running.

Isn't it kinda weird to watch people run away as stuff explodes around them...mildly psychopathic in my book...but then again I didn't bother watching the vids so ...I don't know.

oh..you gotta check it out...I don't post too many links..but this one is pretty cool, hundreds of tanks going off. I drove by on my bus just 2 hours earlier, when I was going to work. This is like 20 min from my house.
