Authorities Blow Up Leaking Butane Tanker
BATON ROUGE - Workers removed a dangerous load from a disabled tanker truck last night in a most spectacular fashion.
I-10 reopened this morning in both directions after being closed for
more than 24 hours following a crash involving the tanker truck.
Late Wednesday night, a state hazardous material response team performed
a "vent and burn" procedure on a tanker truck which had been disabled
since early that morning.
The tanker had been leaking a fuel similar to liquified propane, and
officials had determined it was too dangerous to move the rig or offload
the material.

They call it a "Vent and burn procedure."
I would call it a "Blow and The F#$k up procedure."
The flames are much more orange than a propane fire, owing to the larger molecules (one more carbon in the chain.)

@Jaseun It's far less polluting after combustion than before. The results of Butane oxidation are just water and CO2.

Cool vid. Job well done by the look of it. If this was China or Russia I would have expected utter carnage and limbs everywhere. This is how professionals do it, then?

They could have moved it. Blowing it up was such a cool idea though. Awesomeness demanded plan was the right one
