I assume the oxy/acetolene tanks in the 4th picture had something to do with this?

Which came first: The explosion or the neighbors "for sale" sign?
He's apparently got at least two more vans...

Jeepers crow! Not sure a body would be found after that pop! His back yard does look like a trash heap with nothing to do with the big bang.

Jeff - Acetylene tank in the back of the van?

I investigated a welding supply shop explosion a few weeks ago where an acetylene tank exploded while an employee was removing the valve. There were several secondary explosions, part of one tank flying about 1/4 mile and penetrating the roof and ceiling of a motel room.

It followed that old projectile motion formula from physics class fairly closely

Yup. Plumber's van parked overnight in his driveway with a leaky acetylene tank. Word has it he hit the remote entry on his key while approaching it to get in and go to work, and unbeknownst to him, it had spent the night filling up with acetylene. Must have been a spark generated by whatever little devices are used to unlock the thing. Not sure if he survived or not; I know sometimes I'll hit mine before I even go out the front door. Let's hope that's what he did. No mention of fatalities with the story I received, anyway.
