    Several years ago I was working on the 5th floor in a building with a
    good view all around. Across the street a man was re-tarring a flat
    roof on the second floor of his building, using an acetylene torch
    for melting the tar. Things got out of hand, the tar caught fire and
    when I saw that I knew a big bang would be the result. The guy with
    the torch happened to be the building owner and when he saw the fire
    around his tank, he went back inside the building. The explosion
    broke windows in nearby businesses, the tank hit an extension of the
    roof facade and stayed there.  The fire was spectacular and smoky but
    the fire department put it out quickly.
