Most horrifying industrial safety video ever! Well, I can certainly relate to those. I've investigated several deaths that could have been in that video: 1) 2 fellows using chain and forklift to pull open rusted train boxcar door, and door came off boxcar (instead of sliding open) and flew at and hit and killed one of the two guys 2) father and son reclaiming metal from 50-gal cans using blow-torch, and one still sealed and with some volatile substance in it was ignited and blew up, killing one of them 3) man sandblasting a backhoe, hit a switch or something and the hydraulic pressure slowly ebbed away, letting the raised bucket come down on him (from behind him, he couldn't see it coming) and pin him against the backhoe frame, keeping him from breathing 4) man using a bulldozer on his own farm, digging a pond, got tipped too far forward suddenly when bulldozer basically fell forward into the dug hole, and he was thrown forward into the open engine with moving fan blades and so on and so on and so on.

HOLY COW Red...1 & 2 Sound like complete dumbass attacks... a case of not thinking a head... 3 & 4 though sound like anything could have happened to have caused what they did...flying sparks, eroding soil, etc.
I can't even imagine what you may dream at night sometimes. A few of my friends are in fire and law depts. and they are on the actual scene. I can't imagine the dreamscapes they have.
I can relate a little with the drum explosion though...ONLY as far as I was actually concerned with it. I needed some melting crucibles for my homemade forge a few years back. Well, it turns out that used propane tanks work nice. I removed the valve (same as a bike tire) let it sit till the next day, only then did I drill (SLOWLY) a small hole in the tank. Let it sit for an hour more before I cut it in half... I knew better.
Just as a heads up. My neighbor informed me of idiot he'd worked with in the past that though it would be cool to pressurize a 55g drum with ONLY 3-5 psi of air to make the liquid come out faster with very bad results. He's an old farm guy so Idk if barrel design has changed much but he said still don't do it.
