ANOTHER Acetylene cylinder stored in a car

Toyota-001

This happened in Regina, Tuesday morning (29 November 2011). Here is what the owner said:

So my time almost came to an end this morning… I’m very lucky to be alive.  I had an acetylene bottle in my truck, the valve was bumped so slightly and over night the truck filled with the gas. I noticed the smell, and opened the doors to air out the truck. I drove the truck out of the garage to get some more air movement. I went to roll the pass side window down and as soon as I touched the power windows. BAM – with me in the truck. I lost all hearing out of my right ear and got a scratch on the back of my head. All things considering, I’m alive.  Don’t take any minutes or seconds you have for granted… it may be your last …
