What the hell was he hauling to make a crater 15' deep?

His brakes caught fire, so he pulled to the side of the road and got out his extinguisher.

Just as the first responders arrived, they saw him walk back up to the truck when it exploded.

Some houses nearby have been damaged along with that 15 foot deep hole it caused.

The mushroom cloud and subsequent report were heard for many miles around.

A picture taken just moments before the explosion.

The school bus is trying to back up to move away from the fire.  The fire truck had just stopped, then BOOM!
