Well Keith
I looked at all those pics, and he is one lucky boy, to have come through that. Amazing to me that it just exploded, but nothing seems burnt. The air accetylene mix must have been just right.
The steering wheel is all bent. I guess the blast pushed his body onto it.
We used to set off the odd acetylene bomb at the workshop in singapore.
We used small milk cartons Probably only 250 or 300ml, and they went with a good bang.
I remember hearing about a massive explosion in France years ago. It was set off, by a fireman turning OFF a light.
