Just to clarify a few things - this junction in Aylesbury is very busy and to make things worse there are roadworks going on. At the start of the video it is just members of the public in their cars doing their best to coordinate with each other to get out of the area. It was pretty clogged up but eventually everyone was able to get out of there. The fire had started just moments before I began filming so emergency services had only just been alerted. The police station is just out of view to the left so they were quick to respond. The fire station is located across town and they came about 5 minutes later. By that time the danger had passed and they helped clear the zone. Everything was back to normal within about 30 minutes.
Yeah, I gathered from your vid that people were just trying to get out of the way. After all that it's probably best to get back down to the canal towpath and chillax, Karl 😆
Those bloody cylinders go like missiles and in any damned direction they want to, ive even seen a soda stream gas bottle take off like an exocet missile.
There is an article from the BBC 35 minutes ago, and it was a gas cannister the road repainting team were using. It had set fire to other equipment, and that explosion was the cannister, as in the picture there is a hole in the side of the burnt cannister.
That’s why the fire went out after the canister exploded: it was only the gas which was burning and the explosion allowed all the gas to escape and burn up.
Once had one go up at a hotel chain I used to work for, roofers left the tar boiler alight on the roof when they went for their break. The gas line ruptured, the cylinder caught light and started venting as seen in this video. Eventually the heat got too much for the cylinder which fully ruptured, this went skywards and landed 700m away in a car park of a nearby office block. The tar caught light as well which then set fire to the roof of the hotel and floor below.
I was there too somewhere to the left behind that blue car. Very scary seeing the fire in the houses reflection and hearing the bang from the explosion 😮 glad nobody got hurt
BLEVE: Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion. Spark ignites leaking flammable vapours, flame heats cannister, liquid gas boils,gas expands, pressure builds, leak gets bigger, flame gets bigger and hotter, accelerating the gas expansion, this cycle continues until pressure ruptures the tank instantly spraying and vaporising remaining fluid and creating the boom and fireball. The power of these explosions is mind-boggling.( technically; deflagration a extremely fast burn because the gasses are not contained at moment of detonation/ignition ). I find these as fascinating as I find them hell a scary. Witnessed several small one's(camping gas, garden weed burners, plumbers torch etc. and two large enough to warrant emediate evaquation of a large food production facility and car body shop/ RV repair shop.
That sound is a pressure release valve on a small to medium sized bottle of gas. It was not a big bottle and the pressure release valve stopped it from fully exploding. .
You can clearly hear the pressure relief valve on the cylinder operating when the filming starts. As the body of the cylinder continues to heat up due to whatever was on fire around it the cylinder reaches failure point causing the explosion.

Well Aylesbury voted 3 times as the worst town in England all you ever hear is the wailing of sirens as people are stabbed killed or injured a grim place with undoubtedly the most appalling road system, no by- pass just dreams oh then to top it off you have HS2 destroying everything disrupting traffic closing roads causing mayhem you must be crazy to live there and don't by a house for God's sake ...a total sewage dump. Yuk.
There should be at least a 200 mtr exclusion zone from this incident. People walking around with absolutely no idea of the danger they are in. Fires involving gas are lethal, madness !!
Considering how close the first cop parked, they were very likely attending a different call. The tank had probably already exploded by the time you managed to described where you are to the call handler, also, unless you were on the other side, it would have been extremely dangerous to runt o the police station, unless you want to run around the loop.
Don't forget they had to safely put down their coffee and doughnuts, and mark their cups and plates to ensure they got the correct one when they got back to the station.
It is the gyratory it is a complete pig to get around they were most probably stuck there . Bucks council make just stop oil look like complete amateurs when it comes to planning traffic chaos.
The fire goes out due to the safety valve on the gas cylinder, and the traffic starts to flow normally again until 3 or 4 police vehicles turn up and block the road, so nobody can drive along the road, brilliant.🚓🚓🚓🚓
@@YumbutteredsausageThe road system they are in is a complete pig and was most probably backed up as they have put roadworks in it along with other temporary traffic lights in the area the drivers most probably didn’t have a quick exit.
Why did the police allow the grey car to go thru towards the explosion? Was she an undercover cop? Imagine blaring your horn in rage when an unmarked police car tries to block you 😂
@steve00alt70 I don't who she was but she just blocked people wanting to turn left. When I recorded this it had only just started so everyone was thinking on their feet. The van driver did the same as the woman. He was just a member of the public.
This is a busy junction and everything happened so quickly. Vehicles had entered the area already so all had to either turn round or stay put and wait. Also, there are roadworks going on here so not all lanes were available.
@tomatoes3 I thought they dealt with it pretty well. They were there some time after the fire had burnt out, just to be on the safe side but it was all over in about 15 minutes.

Gas main. Looks like it's been dug into and then I'd guess the force of the explosion blew the fire out. The explosion could be caused by the electricity cable melting and then as it's popped it's blown the fire out.
Another thing if you got newcomers near you be aware they by pass the electric meters, also put new gas meters in, council health and safety must do regular checks for public safety with these people. Demand it.

he's like "nope, not going there"
Green plastic barriers next to flames; two high vis workmen…. Looks like they maybe drilled into a gas main?
So many onlookers. Has nobody heard of shrapnel a gas cylinder can make if it explodes?
Education not provided
I've seen plenty of videos of electrical failures in roads - they go quite spectacularly. But that looked like gas maybe? Very strange.
3 police cars,1 VAN And where were the fire brigade.?

Gas main?
Thank you for this. Guess you must have been out and about on the bike. And thanks for the HS2 vids - I live in Bishopstone.
Actually I was doing some video editing at home and looked out the window. I had a ringside view!

Is that a skip fire?

In Victorian times-some town's had the Police in charge of fire engine's.
And in the early days, firefighters were sometimes known as "fire bobbies."
The msm said the rocket bombs in ww2 were gas explosions lol
Looks like a possible gas main, with that large leek no doubt someone hit the switch after the 999 call
To be honest, I doubt that. The bang isn't big enough. Looks more like a skip burning with an aerosol or butane canister exploding.
Was a gas cylinder on fire.
This video has blown up more than that thing!

Did you show the Police or Fire this video afterwards? Great clip! Amazing how it blew itself out just before they arrived.
No, it was all over within about 15 minutes. The roads were closed and then fire fighters came and had a look but there wasn't much for them to do.
