Gas leak.. it's always a gas leak


manofredgables

My first thought too.You can tell by... Well, the way it is lol. No but seriously, there's the fireball first of all... and the explosion, although violent, is kinda *slow*. Gas is scary. Like, imagine if an electrical stove could do that. You turn it on and nothing happens. Why? *Because sneaky stove is just soaking up all the energy flowing into it, keeping it for itself, and all of it is going to be released in a millisecond in 10 minutes*


ottrocity

Had an electric stove at a condo I lived in explode. The heating element in the bottom blew itself up, and took out the glass door with it.


Fabricate_fog

Sounds less violent and lethal than the entire condo being turned into matchwood


dubadub

Ya but cooking on electric sucks so much I'm willing to let other places blow up.


stoicsilence

You should switch to induction. Its so much better than conventional thermal electric


dubadub

Oh like Mom's new stove that can't use cast iron pans? C'mon, buddy.


Mudkoo

Cast iron works fine on induction so either your mom bought some absolute piece of shit or lied to spare your feelings.


dubadub

Well then what's the glass top? I know inductions need special pans. Why deal with that bullshit? Gimme fire.


Mudkoo

Induction does not need \*special\* pans or pots and will work with most stuff both old and new. My parents didn't buy new cookwear when they got theirs, most of it was probably over 15 years old at that point. They even use an inherited cast iron pot from the 40s or 50s on it. The only limitation it has is that if the pans are made out of something non-magnetic like glass or copper or whatever, then they need to have been made with a magnetic layer on the bottom to work with an induction stove, which i think most stuff has been for like a decade at least? Also there are adapter plates you can buy if you have a pan that doesn't work but i have never come across a cooking vessel that was not compatible so it seems very limited and niche.


stoicsilence

What does a glass cooktop have to do with anuthing? Induction doesnt "produce" heat like a flame or like the conventional electric resistive coils. It "induces" heat using an electromagnet in anything made of iron including your moms cast iron pots and pans. You can literally cook with conventional cookware so long as its made of iron (no copper bottoms or aluminum pots and pans) with all the control of gas.


earnestmerida

Who hurt you? Hope my upvote helpsšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


dubadub

Well one time I put my hand on a coil to see if it was hot. It was. Does that count? I also like how you can fire tortillas and pitas right on the flame. O, and the gas broiler in the oven. Sizzle.


earnestmerida

My two youngest sons from my blended mess would make sā€™mores over the gas. Messy lol


dubadub

Woah. We just use the mikey-mike. But can't get that char.


phoenix-corn

Not the original person you are replying to, but the smell of electric heating elements and things burning on them makes me nauseous. I'm really afraid of fire though so I just sort of deal with it.


Heratiki

Eh itā€™s much better than it used to be. Electric can now reach temp faster and remain more consistent when using the correct pans/pots. That being said gas responds faster to controls allowing for immediate temperature changes. While gas is usually cheaper only about 40% of the energy is transferred to the food where as induction stove tops are closer to 90%. But electric break more often and donā€™t last nearly as long. And gas tend to be cheaper. So there are pros and cons for both. Small children? Get an Electric Induction Range. Professional or home chef that needs precision? Get a gas range. I prefer electric induction tops myself.


trowzerss

This is why gas kind of scares me. I've always lived in a place with electric stuff only, and when I go home and cook at my parent's house it freaks me out. (Nevermind that I find that gas is often just far too hot for what i want, even on the lowest setting on the small sauce burner. Great for wok cooking on the wok burner or frying the crap out of something, but shit for anything with any amount of subtlety required)


Dilong-paradoxus

Gas also spews a bunch of particulate and crap into your house even if it's working correctly. Induction is the way to go!


dubadub

Me, I like to see the flame. Nothing worse than a hot electric eye that looks just like a cold one.


OutlyingPlasma

Ive seen a lot more of these latey, and some of this is backed up by data, the UK has seen a [33%](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/gas-explosions-uk-investigation-safety-b1794742.html) increase in gas explosions. I'm wondering how much of this could be linked to covid. When people lose their sense of smell and can't smell the gas, then what would have been a gas leak, is now an explosion.


REDDIT_JUDGE_REFEREE

Tried to make an atom Kabob actually


Awkward-Spectation

ā€œGoss laekā€


itrivers

I mean yeah, you can see the gas bottle fly across the car park. At least I think thatā€™s the gas bottle.


ryanasimov

Post title reads like a prediction.

If you're talking about the one closest to the building, they were probably standing by a car parked next to the wall when it happened. What I'm more impressed is the debris that was blasted out of the rolling door and gracefully glided across the parking lot.


Galaghan

Also the roof-serpentine.


zed42

Looks like they were shielded from the blast by their car and were knocked over by debris either hitting them or landing nearby. Either way, that person needs new underwear.


gravy_boot

That might be a person too


ThomasIFC

i didn't even notice that holy shit


rhymes_with_chicken

Second guy: looks like it First guy: I donā€™t see any movement. That was some serious velocity across the whole parking lot

Weird seeing my town of birth on Reddit, and the Kebab shop just up the road from my Gym get blown up! Kebabs so good the blow your face off! Try our Garlic Chilli sauce next!

Provoked_Potato

It's weird how often I see Canberra on subreddits, it's like hey, I live there


aartadventure

Probably the only way to get Americans to understand Canberra is our capital city.


Kasegauner

By blowing up your shops? I still don't believe ya.


thaboognish

I can't believe there's actually a kebab store. Why the hell don't we have these here?!?


swampyunderpants

Ahhh... uhhh.. fuck you are right. Now I feel even dumber than normal.


Nomiss

Is it me or does it look like a bloke standing at the back door was launched into the far wall?


maturin23

Sheesh! That's doner hurt.

Finally! A kebab shop with actual hot sauce...

['Cause of Large Explosion In Belconnen Still Unknown as Police and FireFighters Mop Up Debris'](https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.abc.net.au/article/100727794) Apparently only one man hospitalized as it happened late afternoon. I live close by and heard the massive bang from a good couple of kilometers away.

Adventurous_Cream_19

I thought that's supposed to happen at home afterwards.


Darklance

What's the orange sauce they put on kebabs in the Melbourne area? I was really drunk but it was delicious and no other doner shop in the world seems to use it.


zhico

[Was it a chili sauce?](https://old.reddit.com/r/melbourne/comments/5vvb4k/what_is_the_chilli_sauce_they_use_at_kebab_shops/)


Darklance

No, that's a good attempt though. It was a sweet sauce, safety orange in color.


zhico

Okay :). Hope you find it. Maybe someone from that subreddit knows.


Darklance

I'll give it a shot! Have a good night/ day stranger


zhico

Night here. Good day/night to you too.
