Butane Tanker Explosion Closes Highway (pln14)

A butane tanker exploded when the second "pup" trailer malfunctioned. The malfunction caused the trailer to roll. The truck was carrying 12,547 gallons of butane. The second trailer caught fire and the fire spread to the main trailer. This caused the two trailers to explode and sent the pup trailer flying more than a half mile from the original site. People helped the 77-year-old Paul Prime out of the cab before the explosion. I think it was great that people helped this man out of the cab. If more people in our society would help each other we would have a better world. I think most people would agree that it was great for those people to help the driver. I am sure if any of us were the one in that situation, we would want someone to help us.
