This was a crazy thing to do.
Some feckin eejit decided set fire to an 85kg cylinder of highly volatile oxy-acetylene gas in Mullingar on Monday.
We don’t have a clue what oxy-acetylene gas is, but after a quick Google, we’ve found out it’s highly-explosive stuff.
The person/people put the cylinder into a flame-filled empty oil drum, and then ran presumably.
The result was captured on this CCTV camera at a house nearby.
Hat-tip to our good friends over at the Westmeath Topic.
