Have you ever wondered what the road looks like after your Uhaul trailer blows up on a hot day in the middle of the street?

Wonder no more!

The explosion was investigated by the Marathon-Oneida County Bomb Squad. The explosion is believed to have been accidental, and not criminal or intentional. The explosion was likely caused by the build up of propane gas inside the trailer, which was ignited when the load shifted, causing an item to press against the electronic igniter of a gas grill.

As a bonus, a Sheriffs deputy happened to capture it on their dash cam, our deputies need better dash cams.

This is awesome. If it were a little closer and clearer, it would make a great “Kinja’d” gif.

That roof panel...

You know, it’s a real bummer that those guys lost all their stuff, but I just had to chuckle at the video. Imagine the WTF? moment those guys experienced.

Hopefully they took out insurance on the trailer!

I like how the van kept going. “What was that noise and vibration? Who knows, I’m sure it wasn’t us.”

propane leak, something hit the ignitor on the grill...

man there’s some stupid in loading up that trailer. Anytime a Propane tank gets moved, it should be disconnected and obviously the valve turned off. Damn. He’s lucky that wasn’t a bigger boom.

Am I the only one who’s first though was “meth lab” when I read “trailer blew up”?
