The danger is extreme! All I can say is those people were lucky, if you get enough vapors in a certain volume of air and provide ignition......BOOM, or should I say WHOOOOOSH. I once worked for a logger working on his vehicles and one day he was welding a gas tank strap on a 1970 chevy C-60 log truck, the tanks on these( the gas motor trucks) have a tiny vent hole in them. Well he was welding about 3 feet from this vent hole and when I looked over I saw a small flame feeding off the vapors coming out of that vent hole just like it was a candle sitting there. I have never headed for a door that quickly before. To this day I wont go in a building while he is welding. Every time I think about it, it makes me a little queasy. Just my .02 cents.
