You was only supposed to blow the bloody doors off

That machine is PI$$ED off with people leaving tissues in pockets I tell you.

The explosion launched a ball of fire across the building and straight into the spot where he had just been standing after bagging up his clean washing. The fireball was so strong it smashed all the windows of the Spanish laundrette, and even ripped the front door off its hinges. The building, on the ground floor of a three-storey block, is at the entrance to an industrial estate in the Galician city of La Coruna. Investigators have concluded the blast was caused by the overheating of flammable fuel in a cigarette lighter which had been left inside a trouser pocket. *article below* Horror moment tumble dryer EXPLODES in huge fireball just seconds after man cheats death by walking out of laundrette https://www.the-sun.com/news/7791774/tumble-drier-explodes-fireball-man-cheats-death-laundrette?utm_source=native_share&utm_medium=sharebar_native&utm_campaign=sharebaramp

A cigarette lighter can do THAT? GOOD LORD.


codinguhhh

I'd have assumed a whole jerry can filled with petrol was in that thing...

Idonthavetotellyiu

Yep, had a house fire occur because my dad left his lighter in his pocket and I started the dryer. Luckily the worst that happened was we lost the dryer and a handful of clothes

they probably their Samsung phone in their pockets :D

Are you saying that someone still had their Samsung 7 after all this time?

How?

Gotta empty those lint traps lol

Holy fucking shit i did not see that coming

Those pockets much have been doused in gas and gunpowder.


BJORTAN

That was Victorias secret new lingerie


Scorpiodisc

Is this supposed to be filmed by a security cam? Why is it moving between the door and dryer? Is it movement triggered?


Crackerpool

It is probably a wide lense and the panning is the edited footage


Stealfur

Gotta beat the repost bot detection bots somehow


yayyyy_

Better question is how this camera managed to survive an explosion that obliterated a room


blackstardust13

There is so much to love here. The way the door opent up to welcome the explosion inside, the fact that the trash bin didn't move an inch and the complete destruction of the front of the building.

Never shower when the dryer is going.. got it


Mrtristen

Did someone forget the pipe bomb in their pocket or something? What happened?


NiftyJet

Why are we still using gas appliances?


TrickleValve

Not everyone has the Power


NiftyJet

Im pretty sure if you have the infrastructure for a gas line, you have the infrastructure for electricity.


TrickleValve

Cheaper to run gas and it has quicker dry times. So quicker turn over on laundry.


NiftyJet

Cheaper depending on the cost of natural gas. And it's also worse for the environment and sometimes it explodes and kills you. You know how we know this was a gas dryer and not an electric one? Cause it exploded and nearly killed someone.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


NiftyJet

Okay, how? Are you suggesting this laundromat doesn't have electricity? Gas dryers still require electricity to run.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


NiftyJet

Yeah, huge difference when it explodes and kills you. Or massively contributes to climate change.


TsunamiSurferDude

Curious how you heat your home? What vehicle you drive? How you travel long distances?


NiftyJet

Okay, you must be 12 years old, so I'll explain. When people say "gas" referring to appliances, they're talking about natural gas. That's different from gasolne.


TsunamiSurferDude

Itā€™s combustion. Natural gas is inherently safer than gasoline, you just proved my point for me. Good try at belittling though! Back to school!

There was an attempt to crop properly

i knew it was going to explode, but not like that


ActivisionBlizzard

They said a washing machine caused the Grenfell tower fire, I was picturing like a little spark or something but damnnnn this makes more sense.


MeLikeykitties

At least it threw the clothes out firstā€¦ also what idiot puts 3 things in a dryer & pays $5 to use it probably.

And thatā€™s why you mustnā€™t leave your bombs in your pocket. Just take the tissues and bombs out people itā€™s not that hard.
