Texas Tanker Fire

Just after midnight on the early morning of December 18, 2009, I heard a couple of pops and felt the house rumble. When I looked out the window I saw this gigantic tanker fire, literally just after it happened. After calling 911, I climbed up on the roof and shot the video.

Comment by Kirk D. Baughman on December 18, 2009 at 10:06am: my question is were is traffic control at? i notice that car were still driving on the street close to the tanker. it would be nice to know what it was carrying. you just never know when stuff like this can happen so that's why you must stay on top of your training. i was looking at the video looks like we their was some house close by. what kind of plans did you have?
