Soldiers shoot a grenade round at a fuel truck

Good shot. And an explosion which is known among the emergency services as a Boiling Liquid Vapour Eplosion which has the nifty acronym BLeVE (Pronounced blevvee) - the nightmare scenario of many a station officer here in da YooKay but evidently the dream of bored soldiers when abroad.

To think some of these pyromaniacs will probably be recruited as firefighters when they leave the forces, bless 'em.

This was my unit. We would have mechanical problems escorting convoys from Jordan into Iraq and no place to crossload the fuel to. We had to blow to insure "bad guys" couldn't use it. Too bad because the locals would have hauled it away with teaspoons if they had to.
