"Hazardous Materials" is an Understatement

(YouTube link)

A truck in Russia carrying “insecure high pressure cylinders” has a little accident. The crash is just the beginning, though, as the cylinders keep going off, like, forever. Is it propane? Don’t ever take chances around those things. The driver escapes from the left side of the truck in the first 30 seconds, and after that no one wants to get anywhere near until the fireworks are completely over. Michael Bay would be proud. -via reddit


Around 2:42 you can see one light up on the right and later leave the top-right of the frame. "I have to go now. My planet needs me."

More seriously, even secured cylinders can be quite a mess and training classes abound with images of what accidents involving a single cylinder can do to vehicles.
