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.
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.
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 !!
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.
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.
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.
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.

Corner of the gyratory. Likely a gas leak. They had been digging the road up near there a few days ago. I wonder if they cracked a gas pipe. "Blown itself out" Maybe, but that just means the gas can accumulate...
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.

@@dombaker6210 Yes, but the cells are small. If they explode, they do it individually. They do not explode en masse. There is no fireball, because no gas - but a series of small explosions of individual cells and a hard to-to-extinguish base.

@@BucksBlueLightVids So it is a reason to block entire intersection? AMATEURS. They should block intersection prior to this one and evacuate stranding cars immediately.

So many onlookers. Has nobody heard of shrapnel a gas cylinder can make if it explodes?

Looked more like the flare from an ignited gas canister
haha the guy who walkes on the sidewalk just before the explosion.
he's like "nope, not going there"
I was there in my car just out of shot on the right, the explosion shook my car. Scary stuff.

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.

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."
Who are the jobsworths getting out of the grey corsa, thinking they are official and US President like?.
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.
LOOKS LIKE A GAS CYLINDER ON THE BACK OF A TRUCK
Or the workmen hit a power cable !

That was not an explosion.....an explosion is a large volume of atmosphere compressed outwards in the time it takes to blink
