That was an oxygen cylinder (an 'E' [?] ) - an F tank of compressed gas WILL travel through several concrete block walls, if the valve happens to get knocked off .Charter Member - - Professional Procrastinators Association of America - - putting things off since 1965 " I'll get around to it tomorrow, .... maybe "

Re: Speaking Of the Hazards of Compressed Air Tanks
A freshly filled oxygen tank is at a little over 3,000 PSI - as is an aluminum scuba tank.
A friend, while loading oxygen tanks onto a destroyer, had one fall out of the net, then it knocked off the valve on the side of the ship while falling, & it ended up on a beach over a mile away. The pressures are dangerous!"If it ain't broke, you're not trying." - Red GreenComment

You would have to know a bit of the science to make an accurate judgement, but there are rumors about oxogen tanks.

We used to have a 100 ton 4 post press in our "facility" for pressing tires on and off narrow gauge railroad gear. All enclosed in a steel room lined with heavy chain link fence, and one heavy screened window to observe while operating it from a remote room.Comment
