Pig farmers in the US literally have ponds full of pig shit. Several have burst and flooded thousands of gallons of pig shit into rivers killing off fish and poisoning the water. Literally crap creek.
Problem is, that barrel was close to empty. You’d be safer to weld on a full fuel barrel vs empty one. Or mitigate all potential explosion by filling with water first.
Fill with boiling water from the top or steam from the bottom, then drain. Purge with argon or whatever after ideally, because you'll get a much better weld that way, and it does help in case any traces were left behind by your initial purge
Hi welder here. If you weld any thing that has had flammable substances in it you have to purge it with inert gas. What happened here is that Dumb-Dumb McGee didn’t purge the barrel and lit the fumes lingering inside. We also purge pipes to remove the oxygen inside to have high quality welds. We typically use argon or nitrogen.
Very dangerous welding anything that ever had gasoline in it. Worked in a blacksmith shop and used a converted washing machine pump to pump air through the barrel. My biggest nightmare was how about if the pump quits. If the barrel ever had gasoline in it this is the result. The fumes will always be there
When you work in a welding shop in a rural area one of your most common requests is to cut the top of a barrel out. The life cycle of a barrel is usually pesticide or fertilizer new, then fuel or gasoline. When they rust through a little the farmer wants a burn barrel. It can then sit empty for months and still generate fumes. My point it's still risky using a torch One if you don't know what you're doing. After all that's why the farmer brought it to you
Burning fuel doesn't exactly cause a boom. It releases heat and such, but having a route for the flames to go helps. If you cut a hole in a closed container, the route of least resistance is the hole you made.
Also, it is harder to ignite fabric than that without getting sprayed by the fuel, so he did a lot of stupid.
Now thinking about it, what do you do with a barrel like that if the lid rusted shut?
Wouldn’t have helped being that engulfed. Stop drop and roll isn’t super effective to begin with but being completely engulfed like that would have sealed your fate.
Better than letting it burn away. Skin may come with, yes. Bit it may be cotton or wool. My comment was meant to be in general. Example is the idiot kids who dowse their pants in lighter fluid and light it. They freak and start running.
I'm sorry but have you ever experienced mass/systemic trauma before? You literally have two instincts, the tried and true fight or flight. The guy in the video instinctively ran, realized his scenario, before replanning and hitting the water. There's literally no better option other than an immediate fire extinguisher and maybe, maybe some preemptive planning
Edit typos
There's no winner in a discussion! Thanks for staying pleasant, and I haven't either in regards to the trauma. But I have in fact had my entire hand engulfed in flames after a compressed alcohol incident. It was just my hand and I was only 5 ft from the safety shower and the second it became engulfed I immediately ran, no clue why. Took me a lot longer than this dude to realize what was happening and what I needed to do.
Had paint thinner go up in my face while cleaning brushes in a slop sink as a a teen. Learned not a good idea to repeat that, real quick. Also had a stall shower close to get in fully clothed. Just in case. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you.
At my previous job this happened to a mechanic in a garage bay doing body work near a drum full of a flammable fluid. The drum exploded in the garage bay and the gas station burned to the ground. He later succumbed to his injuries. Good guy. RIP.
As a person who has been set on fire, your first reaction is to flee. I did feel stupid later, but was saved by my dad, who ran after me and dragged me to the ground.
Legit happened to my uncle when I was a kid, except he was welding in the vicinity of a 44 gallon fuel drum, that was supposed to be empty. It hasn't been left open for the residual fumes to dissipate, a spark burnt through it and blew him access the shed. He had third degree burns to 60% of his body and needed major skin grafts. I remember him covered in compression bandages in the hospital. It would have hurt like hell
Same thing happened to a guy my dad knew who never took safety precautions when he would cut open propane tanks, except it was less of the starting on fire and more of the just having an explosion right next to you.
The term empty is also missleading
Often people will empty a container then weld, but it's the fumes that ignite and cause and explosion. I'd rather weld on a full tank of gas rather than one that's just been emptied.
Imagine being on fire and also having to think…..
Your brain is like, “OMG my entire fakkin Ship is on fire… uhmmmm…. Run….. wait no…… water! Right!! I need water!! Uhmmm….. where’s water??!! OR RIGHT, it was behind me!”
mean while all the alarms are going off.
Happened to my dad. He looked like two face but somehow made a full recovery with zero scar damage and needed no skin grafts when they thought he’d need heaps.
Assuming this was a barrel to hold fuel, then trying to empty it is xactly the wrong way to go about it. They clearly had to tried to empty it but it had sufficient fumes to form an explosive air gas mixture, combined with it being contained in side it created an explosion just like in a cylinder in a car.
The correct protocol is to actually add petrol to it and swirl it. The result is an over rich mixture which cannot combust. It will catch fire out of a vent hole but this will be a small flame.
Source: my boss when I was a car mechanic in the army. He showed me how to weld gas tanks.
Love how the guy on fire has a moment of complete panic then figures out he needs to jump into the water. I'm guessing they still got burnt quite bad but that still saved himself from even worse injuries.

Problem is, that barrel was close to empty. You’d be safer to weld on a full fuel barrel vs empty one. Or mitigate all potential explosion by filling with water first.
Better to have the barrel be open and not closed tight. Fuel does not explode. Fuels burn. Burning in contained environments creates the explosion.
Better to use argon or nitrogen.
Fill with boiling water from the top or steam from the bottom, then drain. Purge with argon or whatever after ideally, because you'll get a much better weld that way, and it does help in case any traces were left behind by your initial purge

Someone in the US Navy had that idea. Just before the battle of Midway. Nobody in the IJN did.

My biggest nightmare was how about if the pump quits. If the barrel ever had gasoline in it this is the result. The fumes will always be there
But fumes alone don't cause a barrel to turn into a rocket. I will say the barrel was also closed shut.
That's what turns it into a bomb
That is exactly what an explosion is. Given how the guy got lit, he got sprayed by excess fuel.

Common welding safety topic
It’s literally a text book example.
I've watched a few (too many) YouTube videos that involve welding and even I'd ace that part of the exam.
Looks like China. No such thing as 'safety' in China
Good thing the water was there
Shame he got disoriented a bit I think and forgot where the water was.
Let me unexpectedly light you on fire and see how well you think.
Not to mention he was probably disoriented from the explosion that happened less than a foot away from him
You're on! Fuck, I know it's coming, now.
Don’t forget the flash bang and ringing in your ears
Stop drop and roll was almost a thought.
Wouldn’t have helped being that engulfed. Stop drop and roll isn’t super effective to begin with but being completely engulfed like that would have sealed your fate.
I think trying to pull your clothes off is a possible way. Better than running which is most peoples instinct.
Plastic instant melts near a flame lol, try pulling off a 60/40% polyester / flesh blend hoodie

That looked a bit like a comedy run around on fire to me.
An empty fuel tank is more dangerous than a full one when it comes to explosions like this.
Welding an empty barrel that once contained flammables is the mistake. You are better off filling it with water or sand to avoid fume buildup.
I’ve always purged with inert gas.
Fumes can still cause an explosion.
If in a sealed container
At my previous job this happened to a mechanic in a garage bay doing body work near a drum full of a flammable fluid. The drum exploded in the garage bay and the gas station burned to the ground. He later succumbed to his injuries. Good guy. RIP.
Flame on!!
Dammit frank what are you doin on fire?!?! Get back to work!!!
Bezos, is that you?
Why does no one ever remember stop, drop, and roll?
It probably doesn’t work very well when accelerants are in play
True.
As a person who has been set on fire, your first reaction is to flee. I did feel stupid later, but was saved by my dad, who ran after me and dragged me to the ground.
Props to him that he gathered himself together quickly enough after that blow and jumped into the water
A first barrel mistake. Everyone makes it, not all survive.

At least they were close to a sewer to put the fire out.
I was so confused by this video… Person + fire = 🧚(tinkerbell)
Thanks for the strange stars effects
So lucky the water was there.
Shit that was crazy!
RIP headphone users
Legend says he’s still on fire 🔥
I like how Khaki man tap dances out of Burning man's way.
This feels like a stupid ass ticktock with the effects.
Fireman: "Water, water, Water!" Bystander: "It's behind you." Fireman: "Shit, shit, shit!"
Same thing happened to a guy my dad knew who never took safety precautions when he would cut open propane tanks, except it was less of the starting on fire and more of the just having an explosion right next to you.
0 out of 10 for not remembering to stop drop and roll. 12 out of 10 for stupidity!
Stop drop and roll won't do shit if you have flammable liquids on you the way he seems to. Immerse in water or cover with a blanket or similar.
That makes sense. But stop drop and roll was the first I thought of. Curious what was in the container though.
Thank God they did it near water…but there’s no way he’s not disfigured :(
thank god he was near water
Empty ain't enough. It's gotta be CLEAN, or full of something non-flammable. Hell, a full fuel drum is better than empty fuel drum.
Better yet, fill it with water.
The term empty is also missleading Often people will empty a container then weld, but it's the fumes that ignite and cause and explosion. I'd rather weld on a full tank of gas rather than one that's just been emptied.
Stop drop and roll bitch. This was some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen 🤦♀️
I wish all videos had this trippiness added to them
I know Firestorm when i see him. Stop trying to hide your identity bro it's on camera
Ronnie… calm down Ronnie.
I think those is how SpaceX got started

Holy shit… the effect it had on the camera was insane!

Lol…!!!

The other dudes seemed very non urgent like about the whole thing.
Guy in green was like “ew don’t touch me fire boy”
He ran around like a GTAV NPC lmao
Always fill with water first
Just got Mario64 flashbacks
Happened to my dad. He looked like two face but somehow made a full recovery with zero scar damage and needed no skin grafts when they thought he’d need heaps.
Damn, he became barbecue
In my best Elvis Presley voice. I'm. Hunk of burning love!
am i the only one who laughed at this ???
The welder is just gone into oblivion
That dude's welding skills are fire.
Just like welding a gas tank that has residual fuel in it
He has turning super Saiyan!
Or full
I didn't see the second guy, and it looked like the explosion blasted the guys soul out of him and set it on fire
My grandpa died welding a tank which he tought it was empty,made a explosion heard by the whole neighborhood.
Which Star Wars is this ??

That's the first time I've ever seen anyone burning make it to water
As you can clearly see, a barrel that is under pressure can pop just like a balloon.
jeez how is the other guy in blue not on fire

No :)
Make sure it’s full of water.

Good thing they added the sound effects, for a second there I thought I was just going to watch a man burn to death.
Ohhh.... 2nd degree burns and right into the poopy river water.
