    Would you risk your life to prevent an explosion? This firefighter did when he dragged a flaming gas canister out of a burning home. https://cbsn.ws/2IZHiHa pic.twitter.com/vPAMs98KVt

        He could have just twisted the knob at the top and turned off the gas.

        Fake news. These tanks simply vent. They don’t explode; only in Hollywood

        I have asked fire fighters and I’ve walked through many fire scenes after and find tanks fully in tact after venting.

        Why didn't he just turn the gas off? Gas fires are notorious for being unable to be put out by water. My bet is it burned itself out.

        I asked my dad would he have attacked and tried to go into the cabin of the plane (sept 11, 2001- Shanksville, PN) and he said yes with out hesitation. My dad was fighting cancer at that time.

        That firefighter descriptor of “bravest” wasn’t earned by sliding down the poles in their station houses. 😌

        Why didn’t he just cover it with his jacket or a wet towel to cut the gas flow?
