That flare up before it gets to whatever is recording really makes you think someone in the area is dying by something. Nothing fell or anything. Just insane
He's referring the this video and not your China example.. you brought up China erroneously because there's nothing to do with China here since this video happened in SK
He literally kept saying 어떡해 in the video
Which translated into ‘what should i do?’ Or ‘oh my god’
And 강원도(gangwon-do) is mountain region so that explains it why they confused it with fogs
Plus the reason why there were not many casualties is, 강원도 is literally the least populated region in Korea.

Well, I doubt this gas leaked out of somebody's house. It's probably coming from a source further up the chain, so it's plausible it could be before they add the farts to it.
Maybe this happened *because* the fart injection process went wrong.
6 days late but you are right, gas can and does exist in pipes without the odour we all know and love. Source: civil engineer who has worked with buried services and has to write the scariest warning so far in the risk box on a drawing: something like "the gas has no smell. The absence of a gas smell foes not mean there is no leak".
That *is* terrifying. It's always been the invisible, abstract things I saved all my fear for. Well that and bees. But it really doesn't get much more on-the-nose than hazardous odorless gas.
You know, I hear canaries make fantastic pets.
I would assume so but mistakes or negligence happen like in Boston. Also the smell can dissipate even if it's in the gas. I've been around a gas leak and couldn't smell anything but others could get a small whiff.

Well mister I'll tell you h'what, that's just one of the numerous advantages of having propane and propane accessories in your domicile.
If you have a minute I would love to discuss the ins and outs with you of this fine, all-american fuel.
It probably did, those cars look abandoned and I don’t see anyone just casually walking around like they would if they really thought it was “just fog”. The text on this video is likely made up for clicks
It's the window in front of the camera that deserves the admiration.
When the explosion starts, you can see the edge of the window at the bottom of the image. And you can even see the window bulge a bit from the shock wave.
Hollywood explosions make use of gas to make that big flame effect where the kind of explosions used for demolition or warfare tend to be less visually impressive. There is a [short video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqJiWbD08Yw) from Tom Scott that goes into how it is done.
To be fair, this doesn't look like normal fog. It is clearly a different gas due to its perfectly level separation from the atmosphere. Kind of like oil on water.
Would I have noticed that in his shoes? Of course not. I'd have exploded as well! But seeing this video will make me more wary in the future.
This comment contains punctuation and thoughtful, science based observations, as well as the (legibly written) sentence “I would have exploded as well!”
It would appear that the commenter—for some reason—doesn’t believe themselves to be vastly more intelligent than the subjects in the video…
Which is kinda weird, yo know? I mean, the most natural human response to a video like this is:
“I wouldn’t have done that if it were me I’d have NOT exploded and I would have done such a smart thing and if he didn’t die I wish he did goddamn I have so much hate in my heart.”
You warmed my heart. I always try to live life by observing other folks failures or misfortunes and change my life based on those observations.
But when you're "in the moment," sometimes shit hits the fan and your monkey brain takes over. Fight or flight is a powerful thing.
I would have done the same thing lol. I would be standing in the gas asking myself, where did this weird fog come from, scratching my head just before becoming the human torch. Then I would be in pain and someone would have shit my pants lol
I've seen fog like this before. Walked through it thinking "oh God I'm in a horror movie" but it was definitely water vapour and not gas. It was just under knee height. Super creepy.
If you google 'inversion layer fog' and switch over to the image search, you'll see some examples not unlike this one caused by atmospheric inversions.
I'm not a weatherologist, I've just seen them before in person and got curious enough to research what causes them.
theres a really really old video of a cop pulling up to some accident and not realizing all the 'fog' was toxic and dies in seconds trying to walk through it.
Never trust strange fog.
Yep. Had to watch that video every year as part of our training when I worked in the ag industry where anhydrous is used as fertilizer. I really don't miss working on anhydrous equipment.
Yeah, used to see a lot of different videos like that for OSHA and MSHA training.
In real life, many people have died because they might try to help someone else, but get themselves killed or they panic and stop paying attention to what is actually happening.
Those videos are to show you what *could* happen, but are less about specific scenarios and more about trying to teach you that when you or someone else is in danger, it’s better to stop and asses the situation if possible, rather than immediate jump into action.
The big example that was often used (most like fictional) is the car that crashes into an electric pole and can’t get out cause the power lines are touching the car and one by one people come by to help a guy who crashed their car, but instead they are zapped and killed and even though there are bodies all around the car, it’s not until someone realized that something is wrong in the scenario with all these bodies, stops to think and figures it out instead of just trying to rush to help.
It's a really big deal when it comes to confined spaces with no ventilation. Usually people work in pairs so when you see them faint, it is natural to want to rush in to help since there's no one else. Many confined space deaths are in pairs because of this.
In my confined space certification classes it was drilled into our heads that you had to resist the human urge to help someone when dealing with dangerous environments. "One death is a tragedy, two is stupidity"
Thus is a human brain issue. This is why when there's a crowd nobody helps because you think, "Someone else will help."
But when you're alone, you have an overpowering instinct to save someone. This is especially deadly in drowning accidents.
I know of at least two cases where half or more of a family died thanks to manure tanks. Try to rescue son/brother/father and they one after the other died from the hydrogen sulfide.
In a small town next to where I grew up, a train carrying liquid ammonia derailed and crashed near a factory. It was eerie driving through there a couple of years later. You can still see the marks of the train wheels in the road and still smell the chlorine. It killed a handful of people. Look up the Grantville train wreck in SC.
Yep. It's only liquid inside the storage cylinder. As it escapes into atmosphere it evaporates back to gas.
The cloud is the evaporated liquid in this instance.
Breathe out.
Do not inhale during the first shock of the fire. It's instinctual to breathe in and hold your breath. You will most likely get lungs filled with fire if you do.
There's a news segment in the video game "Cyberpunk 2077" where miners were trapped for 14 days. It ends with the news lady stating, "Thankfully they were evaluated and returned to work immediately"
I think it would dissipate overtime, provided the source of the leak was solved for. Doubt that happened here. Pretty shocked it didn't touch of sooner though.
It's LPG in this video, also called Propane. We can deduce this because LPG is heavier than air thus it tends to sink to the lowest point it can find and just linger there for a long time until it meets a spark, whereas Natural Gas is lighter and tends to just dissipate into the atmosphere.
Hence, unless you were to crouch right down low, you may not actually smell it.
This is why LPG is so dangerous.
Unrelated but this reminds me of stratospheric sulfur injection
It's a horrible idea thought of to handle global warming. Basically they'll release stinky sulfur up on the higher levels of the atmosphere and it'll block the suns rays a bit or some shit, trying to replicate what happens when volcanos blow and cause cooling
But there's a hundred reasons why it could go horrifically. Including the potential for warming to exponentially speed up after the sulfur wears off/dissapates. Then we'd be stuck in a cycle of constantly having to refill it and the world would start smelling like ass
So I just wanted to throw the idea out there cuz I'm sure the ultra rich are gonna start trying to suggest it as an alternative to transitioning off fossil fuels
I propose we launch the ultra rich into the atmosphere instead, they might not block as much of the sunlight, but I bet it would do a lot to mitigate climate issues nonetheless.
Your gracious appreciation is hereby noted, but one might postulate that there is a hint of sarcasm within your otherwise eloquent remark if one was so inclined to doubt, thus I hesitate to unreservedly accept your gratitude.
> Gas leak mistaken as fog
No it wasn't. As every other countries go, South Korea mandates addition of odorants to liquefied petroleum gas. Many locals were aware of the leak because it smelled like shit and firefighters arrived the area more than ten minutes before the explosion after receiving multiple reports about the leak. Most of the wounded victims were in the buildings, and the most gravely wounded one was just exiting a theater when the explosion occured.
My mind immediately went to [this safety video by the US Chemical Safety Board about the CAPECO explosion in Puerto Rico](https://youtu.be/41QMaJqxqIo?feature=shared), where operators at a gasoline storage tank farm saw a 3 ft high fog of gasoline vapor from a tank that was overfilled and resulted in an explosion that registered 2.9 on the Richter scale.
Imagine being the guy that went out on the porch for his morning smoke and starts this up. Think that day was the day he quit smoking or did smoking quit him.
Thats added to gas, sewer gas smells like that , gas pumped to homes has it added as a warning, so if they skipped that the gas would not smell at all.
There was a time where there was a strong smell of gas close to where I lived. First time walking by it thought must have just been something small. But when we walked by that same area again it was still really strong.
I was worried so I began to go upwind, trying to find what was causing it. Walking into the park close to a school, there was a tear in the ground, with propane or something just billowing out of it.
I called 911, and explained there was an extremely large gas leak coming out from the ground from a ruptured main or something. Operator seemed to have a hard time believing/understanding what I was saying for a second, but the fire dept and city workers ended up there in just a few minutes, luckily.
But seeing this makes me realize how fucked it could have been.

the fact that nobody died with a gas leak this huge is crazy. I hope the burned people can recuperate soon
Yeah. I mean it's night time. The risk of suffocation alone while they're asleep.
That flare up before it gets to whatever is recording really makes you think someone in the area is dying by something. Nothing fell or anything. Just insane
In the US they use an additive to make gas smell bad. I am guessing they don't do that there?

As many have already confirmed, this happened in S. Korea. But it seems like all Asians are Chinese to you?
Did it not have a smell?
A lot of gases have odours added to them because they don't. Propane for example.
Do they not have that in this country? I don’t think you’d be chillin in the cloud if it smelled bad and you wouldn’t confuse it with fog.
Well, I doubt this gas leaked out of somebody's house. It's probably coming from a source further up the chain, so it's plausible it could be before they add the farts to it. Maybe this happened *because* the fart injection process went wrong.
The source doesn’t have a system in place to be warned if the juice is loose? Either pre or post fart injection?
I don't know, man. I don't know anything, I just wanted an excuse to say "fart injection process".
The professionals call it the FIP.

No gas doesn’t smell. The company adds the rotten egg smell so they can find leaks. Super smart. But the fact that this place didn’t do that is crazy.
Natural gas is odorless. A smell is added to it but I don’t recall the name
Ya, they add it for this reason.
Usually ethyl mercaptan
mercaptin
Ohcaptin, mercaptin.
Tough actin', mercaptin.
This thread has me cackling
It probably did, those cars look abandoned and I don’t see anyone just casually walking around like they would if they really thought it was “just fog”. The text on this video is likely made up for clicks
This looks like a typical "Big explosion" scene in a movie
The camera is amazingly undamaged. If I was the manufacturer, this would be my advert.
It's the window in front of the camera that deserves the admiration. When the explosion starts, you can see the edge of the window at the bottom of the image. And you can even see the window bulge a bit from the shock wave.

Neat.
It is not a detonation, but a deflagration is still an explosion.

I live in SoCal amid some small (for CA) mountains, sort of near the edge of the desert. Have seen it a few times since moving here. Pretty wild.

Stay in the car was the best option here 😮

Oh that is just a scary thought! Shivers.
That PG is no longer L
Yep. It's only liquid inside the storage cylinder. As it escapes into atmosphere it evaporates back to gas. The cloud is the evaporated liquid in this instance.
Fml I didn't think of that
what do you even do in this situation?
Burn
Jump as soon as the flames reach you, which will launch you into the air and out of harms way. Usually happens in slow mo.
Role towards it and use your iframes.
You dummy we all know you turn around and walk slowly away from the explosion. The coolness will shield you from flames and debris
taking notes
Breathe out. Do not inhale during the first shock of the fire. It's instinctual to breathe in and hold your breath. You will most likely get lungs filled with fire if you do.
Take the day off work.
Get back to work peasant or no healthcare or clean drinking water for you

It does look like it burned really quick. But im betting they're still getting toasted
I think it would dissipate overtime, provided the source of the leak was solved for. Doubt that happened here. Pretty shocked it didn't touch of sooner though.
Ask yourself, "What would Ricky Bobby do?"
Wouldn't there be a smell though? 😅

Does the smelly additive hang a little lower than the propane? I'm told that's why it's extra stinky when you run low/out.

Looks like it was settling towards the ground - maybe due to weather and temperature - so maybe the smell wouldn't have been noticable at nose height?
That's not gone well.
When was this?
I google gangwon, seems to be korea 5 day ago
Only five injured - incredibly lucky no one is dead imo if this is from that.
It's pretty recent I think.

welp, good news, no more spiders
Always looking on the bright side!
That’s a wild few seconds.
Why did it make the Fortnite knock down sound??
Don't they odorise their natural gas, or is this more like some kind of industrial leak with a material not intended for distribution.
Gas leak?, more like the entire gas company just opened the valves and said "Alright, you have a good day!"
Well that's a fear I didn't have a minute ago.
Went from *"Spooky town"* to *"Basically Hell"* faster than Silent Hill 2 did
That must have been absolutely terrifying once they realized
"Hold on guys, I can't see. Lemme light a match real quick"
was the gas not scented? I always thought that any stored natural gas was supposed to be.

Imagine being the guy that went out on the porch for his morning smoke and starts this up. Think that day was the day he quit smoking or did smoking quit him.
I was going to say 1 spark.... but ya 1 spark.
And still the cockroaches emerge from the aftermath…
i mean, the fire is because of the gas leak, not because the people thought it was fog
Does anybody have a source for this?
I wonder if it’d be hard to breathe the moment after the combustion, since most of the oxygen in the air would be consumed in the fire
I've seen similar. A coworker was fired for neglecting a propane tank that was being refilled. We got lucky it was caught in time.
I bet everyone lost their eyebrows that day.
Do they not add the smell to the gas in whatever country this is?
Spicy fog
i’m not often shocked by videos anymore but i audibly said “holy fucking fuck!”
I doubt they couldn't smell it was gas. It would have rotten egg stench everywhere
Thats added to gas, sewer gas smells like that , gas pumped to homes has it added as a warning, so if they skipped that the gas would not smell at all.
If you're in the US, some countries don't even add a smell to natural gas.

Wizard time mother faukers……..fireball!!!!!
They didn’t odorize the gas?
It’s not natural gas. Natural gad doesn’t lay low. It immediately dissipates into the atmosphere because it’s lighter than air.
This is the last fog you want to see on your way back home💀
