UPDATE: Two foreigners were injured in a gas accident in a shop in Siem Reap province. They were reportedly knocked off a motorcycle when a gas LPG tank exploded at 1:15 pm on 14 August, in Sla Kram commune, old City.
Videos show a large explosion which knocked several motorcyclists down and engulfing some in a fireball.
Firefighters have intervened and more details will be released later.

Doesn't look good at all...
In a 3rd world country...
I very much hope that these poor ladies have a medical insurance covering repatriation...
Wishing them a complete recovery!

I've never heard of an LPG tank exploding before. These things are almost indestructible. Pretty sure some idiot tinkered with it

From another perspective.
Meanwhile one of the victims has died according to local media.

Might this be part of the cause?

A Go Fund Me has been set up to help one of the foreign victims (working as a teacher at IQ International School).

Abbey received burns to over 35% of her body in a gas explosion today. She was riding her moto in front of a gas station when there was a massive explosion. We’ve already had thousands in medical bills from treatment and transport costs. She’s been transported to a hospital with a better burn unit and the costs will add up quickly. Any donations you can give for her treatment would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

My tuk tuk driver said he was worried about the new pass app style rickshaws that used lpg. He expected something like this over a year ago. (People not understanding about need for safety and maintenance)

I was wondering what you were talking about when you posted the above. This morning, I realised you may have thought those clouds of white stuff were smoke. They weren't. They were clouds of LPG. Smoke rises. LPG sinks. Somebody must have been fiddling with the tank valve. Maybe to see if they could fill those cooker bottles from it. So, more correctly, the tank didn't explode, but the clouds of gas leaking from it did..Hanno wrote: ↑Wed Aug 14, 2019 6:37 pmFark, if I saw a fire in an LPG shop, I'd run, not walk, instead of trying to get a few likes on FB.Angkor Wad wrote: ↑Wed Aug 14, 2019 6:11 pmhttps://streamable.com/5rmzp

My OMFG comment, was about the Cambodian's reactions to clouds of highly explosive gas pouring out of a gas shop. I hope those two little kids on the bike weren't included in the list of victims.
I'm not sure how I would react, but likely have just legged it: like the guy on the bike seen running for his life after the event in the second link.
The people working in the LPG shop's reaction is what really made an iimpression on me. It looks as if even they weren't aware that gas is highly explosive.

OK, to clarify: If I saw clouds, smoke, fog, mist, vapor, haze, steam, or anything else strange come from a Cambodian LPG shop, I would not hang around.Chneseexpat wrote: ↑Thu Aug 15, 2019 6:45 amI was wondering what you were talking about when you posted the above.
