[quote]A man is in a critical condition in hospital with burns to half his body after an explosion at a Melbourne factory. The explosion, which happened just 300 metres from the local fire brigade station about 12.30 (AEDT), blew a large stainless steel storage tank 130 metres away from the biodiesel refinery, damaging three cars, Metropolitan Fire Brigade spokesman John Taylor said. "It was lucky there was no one driving past," he told AAP. Mr Taylor said there was no fire as a result of the blast at the Aylward Avenue factory in Thomastown, in Melbourne's north, because the explosion essentially blew out the flames. Firefighters instead assisted paramedics with first aid, he said.[/quote] Source: [url]http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/8100230/man-critical-after-factory-blast[/url] Watch the video. Looks like something out of a cartoon. :v: [editline]07:22PM[/editline] The Tankapult is a success, by the way.
Thought you meant a proper Tank :saddowns: Explosive news though.
I thought you meant like a battle tank that was near an asplosion or something
I too expected a military tank. That video is still really awesome.
That is what I thought, too when I first saw the article.
really sucks for the guy, feel sorry for him, but goddamn that video is awesome
He would be badass if he survived the explosion while actually INSIDE the tank.

[QUOTE=sphinxa279;25286569]Thirsty?[/QUOTE] Oh I get it, he's from Mexico, they love their hot foods.
Ah Thomastown, that explains it.
I had boiling oil that was on fire fall on my legs and feet once, burns are possibly the most worse pain I have felt.
reminds me of bad company 2 once i hit a land mine and my tank flew across the map into a building, killing a sniper int he building:clint:
That's quite a big explosion there, i feel sorry for the guy.
Hoped for extreme recoil from a military tank. I am disappointed.
I watched the video and I can't even imagine how fucking terrifying/incredible would have been to just randomly see that happening. As OP said, it does look like something out of a cartoon.
That explosion in the video looks so fake, lol, like one of these stock explosion gifs
