My dad put some propane bottles in the trunk of my mothers car when I was a kid. She always drove like a bat outta hell and waited til the last moment to brake. She hit the brakes and all we heard was "clank clank clank" and mom started cussing dad (who wasn't there) about putting it in the trunk..... then stomped the accelerator to all the clanking again....
She's the most careless driver ever

They're pretty rugged. I've had them slam from back to front to back of my truck bed several times and I've never blown up.
Airbags in trunk maybe? Definitely not a propane explosion.

Joe's an expert though..... he can't tell you what it is but its DEFINITELY not propane

Joe will tell you why you're wrong soon
You don't need to be an expert...
There is no flash
There is no fire
The driver walked away
It was not propane.
It was some kind of inert gas- My guess is an airbag rattling around that got set off- not one built into the car obviously but one he was transporting.

Lol...e-experts..... you just uncovered a notorious airbags theft ring. Why do we need police.... Joe can view a 2 minute video on YouTube and solve the case
Very well could be. If paused at the exact right spot at about 36/37 seconds the white "steam" is coming out of the tire in the air, not the trunk.

I can't see a car-sized spare having the potential energy (as a function of its volume and pressure combined) that would be required to do something like that. I was thinking maybe a NOS tank or an air receiver that failed. Hard to say.
Theoretically a flammable gas cylinder could rupture without igniting in the absence of a source of ignition, but damn near anything can be a source of ignition
Es all speculation.

Maybe someone filled that tire with ~100psi setting the bead and then didn't let any back outI can't see a car-sized spare having the potential energy (as a function of its volume and pressure combined) that would be required to do something like that.

My 300ZX had a compact spare with no air in it and a little pressurized cylinder to fill it up with. I'll bet that little thing could have blown like that if it ever ruptured.
Ive blown up propane tanks without fire, flame etc and not much damage occured (bbq tanks and smaller torch ones)
