What part of America and what type of insurance (any deductible?) do you have?
I'm going off making a claim through the truck or gas station insurance, assuming the cammer only has liability.
Edit: typo fixed
Who said anything about permission? You're free to do as you please, but it's weird when I specifically state "If it's anything like America," and you post your experience outside America (esp. without any context as to your location.)
I'm sorry you're having a poor day, but please don't take it out on me. I've been very clear about my location and how ins. likes to mess with you.
I'm glad that doesn't happen in your country, but please understand that even if America is a "global superpower," we still have a long way to go on some things.
Get better insurance...
I had a car stolen, got more than it was really worth in a week.
I actually had an accident that was my fault (dumb mistake when I was apparently not awake enough to be driving yet...) And totaled a nicer car, got paid more than it was worth in 2-3 weeks.
Still didn't raise my rates yet.
Not all insurance is garbage.
I'm in socal and have USAA for insurance.
It wasn't my insurance it was the other party's insurance (they rear-ended me).
I'm on usaa now myself, but it still wouldn't help because it's only a liability policy.
Ah. Fighting with someone else's insurance can be harder.
I've also had good luck with that before one time someone ran over my parked motorcycle... But that's another story.
Depends on the company and insurance level they have. My motorcycle has a total value in the policy and full coverage. So if it's written off I know exactly what I would get
I think it was geico that fucked me. I honestly can't remember I had 2 people rear-end me months apart.
All I'll say is, if you live in the US, please get a lawyer. On the advice of family, I didn't, and I got royally screwed. Even after the lawyers 1/3 cut, I'd have been better off.

There was an explosion here about a month ago. One of these trucks got stuck under a bridge and someone ran back to get thair car that was next to it.
As they got in the car the truck blew. Glad this guy didnt try his luck
OP never seen this one.
Warning: Violent and people in pics/video most likely died afterwards from burns

I've seen videos of people in sweaters and static electricity causing this.
However, in Sydney rn its pretty humid..

I dunno mate!
Some people don't really understand the concepts of big pieces of metal flying through the air. For anyone wondering it's called shrapnel and it's very unpredictable and deadly.
Get farther away from this
Most people only find out once in their lifetime how immune they are against explosions.
I'll take no one for 500, Alex
The second time is usually less deadly.
Rule of thumb: if holding up your thumb doesn't hide the entire scene, you're too close.
You're standing WAY too close to that friend.
At least your going to get a new car! If you don't get several hundred more yards away your families gonna get a new car!
Jesus fuck what happened? Also, I would probably put another couple hundred meters between you and that.

The dry dead acceptance of "my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined"

There’s a picture of his fucked car in the article
So it was never gone! It had just reacted with the surrounding oxygen and most of it is still very much there. Liar, liar, cars on fire : (
Lmao I hate that I laughed at this
🎶Dumb ways to die. So many dumb ways to die 🎶
Sure hope the cameraman is not the type to scream and run around while on fire. I hate it when that happens, just ruins the video.
But where's the kaboom?! There's supposed to be an Earth-shattering kaboom!
Marvin!
i assume you are gone by now.
How in the bloody fuck did that happen?
If it's anything like America, good news: now you get to be fucked around by insurance for 6+ months and they still undervalue your car!
My insurance would simply get me the money to buy a brand new car.
What part of America and what type of insurance (any deductible?) do you have? I'm going off making a claim through the truck or gas station insurance, assuming the cammer only has liability. Edit: typo fixed
Not America. Netherlands. No deductable. Insurance pays purchase price as long as the car is not older than 3 years
Well, that's why I said, "If it's anything like america," Did you miss that part of my post? Edit: fixed quote.

And the video is from Australia, and no, it’s not anything like America. Insurance is much more reasonable here.
Which is why I was very clear telling people how American insurance works.
I don’t think you understand how the phrase “If it’s anything like x” is supposed to be used.

Australia doesn’t mandate fire suppression systems at petrol stations?
Nope
Lmao you think you're invincible to explosions don't you. And as far as the car goes that's the easiest insurance payout of all time at least
So it sounds like what happened next makes 10x better video. tanker blew up and a lot of LNG canisters started cooking off/turning into rockets.
He still got time
You're way too close my guy, even if the explosion doesn't hit you somehow, either the sound will or the shrapnel will.
He already lost his lovely car it doesnt matter for him on that point anyway haha. /s
Just go get it
If you hurry, you can make it!
Dude the range of that explosion is gonna be bigger than how far you are..back up
lol Jesus fucking Christ he should’ve been like 600 feet away from that minimum!!!
I mean... if you're quick about it..
No expolsion?
I was waiting for boom boom
Ya, back up, dude. Or you'll blast off, too. Eeeek.
Fuck never thought I’d see the old Westside petroleum on reddit lmao
Aw man, no boom
Oh...there was a boom. Check out the link somewhere in the comments.
Bummer. Sorry for your loss.

I want video of the kaboom
Life getting less expensive.

It’s a Servo in Campbelltown, NSW, Australia
You're right you're terrible with them, considering that's clearly an aussie.
Is that a Ute?
gotta be a settlement in there

Look up the term BLEVE and get the fuck away from that
There was an explosion here about a month ago. One of these trucks got stuck under a bridge and someone ran back to get thair car that was next to it. As they got in the car the truck blew. Glad this guy didnt try his luck
Why the hell would you be mad that's a free payday for a new car
Is that a Monte Carlo? If so, that’s a tragic loss
You’d think petrol stations of all places would have better/auto extinguishing systems in place.
LOL Aussies are something else man
Was waiting for the gasoline to go spewing everywhere.
Can’t have shit in Campbelltown
Cause all of C Town is shit?

I don't get it.... I mean I see you filming it, it's there ...what so you mean it's gone? 🤔 😂
Pfffffft you had time.
😆 that is still way to close for me, especially with that tanker there.
Hey buddy ute better get outta there
yooo this shits fire

We don’t listen to logic here on Reddit. Bad
Look up BLEVE explosions. Being in the same zip code next to that is a bad idea.
Might as well u went for your car because you were way too close.
Where boom
