I pop mine all the time while I'm going down the road. I have one of those flush mounted ones and every since it worked itself loose a couple years ago while I was cruisin along and sucked gas out of the inside of the tank and put it on the outside, I find myself giving it a little "pop" goin down the road to make sure it is still tight.
Lets see...use a lighter to check the fuel level in a fuel tanker..it blows up in your face...you get doused with fuel and it ignites and you fall about 10 ft to a concrete pad while on fire...safe to say he is badly hurt and burnt if not dead
I saw him crawl away. Look's like his clothes were on fire but it's hard to tell about the rest of him. I doubt he's dead. To bad for him he did such a stupid thing , hope he's ok. It's not funny and neither are you.

we're all sorry your friend tried to dip a lighter into a fuel tanker.
please send us his address so we can mail him get well soon cards. :icon_ laugh:
Your quite welcome. Perhaps i should explain my disdain for people who make fun of people like myself who show compassion for someone who was in a fire, like my little brother. He did something stupid also but nobody cared about that, we only cared about getting him to a hospital. I'll never forget his screams of pain and anguish. Probably the same sound's the guy who fell off the truck made.
Or the 2 kid's that attend a school I work at who both have burn scar's on there faces from some stupid mistake there Dad made and has to live with everyday. Ya, ya'll have a nice day.
my girlfriend went on fire when she was 3...so i call her smokey.
dude you gotta take your baggage elsewhere.
if you didn't like the fun we were having at some internet idiot's expense, you should have walked (clicked? navigated?) the other way and been done with it.

You know the saying"What goes around comes around". I just don't think sarcasm is funny when you try showing compassion for someone, maybe you should save your brand of humour for Hustler magazine.
