Ba-boom!
Burn, Baby! Burn!!!

Today, there is a large hole where the leaked diesel was yesterday -- guess they didn't want any brownfield actions -- just take all the soil and leave. hehehe.
Nice thing about having a construction site next door to the office... Not only do I get to see heavy equipment and concrete pump trucks all day, but today the deisel truck operator filling their fuel reserves up today left the pump running or the shut-off to the ignitor on the pump failed resulting in a pump engine that ran-away, pumping onto the truck and street, and eventually went Ba-boom!
Funny how once you've heard an explosion you never forget what they sound like.
The good thing is that the port-o-lets/jimmy-johns for the site crew, which had been engulfed in flaming deisel, had no occupants -- and the roach coach had already left that spot for the day... otherwise, it'd have been a sad day for the site.
