Man burnt after garden refuse explodes

It surely couldn't have been more than 1 or 2 litres if he drained the fuel from the weedeater and lawnmower, yet it broke windows and moved humans forward in their seats? People on social media reported hearing the blast from many kilometres away, surely it doesn't add up?

To add to what Havoc said, I'd say a lot was probably due to it being in the bin, it drained to bottom, loads of crap on top with nice little 'pockets' to build up and hold gas.
 
You can't burn refuse in residential areas. I hope the home owners/employers are fined.
 
I heard glass shatter. I could not jump into the pool because I had put acid in it earlier to clean it.

They were stunned and did not know what had happened until Sizwe screamed: “I am on fire. I am burning. Help me.”

From the article it seems that the worker decided to burn the refuse and not instructed to do so. I don't know how / if the owners can be held accountable.

Reminds me of Mustafa from Austin Powers; "help, I have fallen and can't get up"
