- An SUV in a parking lot in Van Nuys suddenly exploded and flew into pieces after a man inside lit up a cigarette while there were propane canisters in the vehicle Thursday night.

“Virtually exploding..”?
Friend, it LITERALLY exploded.
basically.
This is what happens when you hire people based on superficial qualities like appearance and voice. They are inversely correlated with intelligence. You don't have to develop smarts if your needs are already met without doing anything.
She got that job because of her hispanic last name .
Good grief! The vehicle exploded...period!!
Somehow these two words are exchanging meanings: 'My head literally exploded'
The cause of the fire under investigation? What? He had propane tanks in his car then he lit a cigarette, Ka-Boom!!
seriously!! he was living in the car with propane tanks !! quite obvious what happened !!
I was confused as well
"We need to spend some more taxpayer money for some overtime" fixed it.
Totally. This is isn't going to require Columbo or Sherlock Holmes.
We're doomed, common sense is gone.
A piece of the car in a tree and she's standing directly below it
Right that's what I was thinking.
Looks like the headliner to me. Very light weight or else that flimsy tree wouldn't be supporting it at the top. Duh!
@danocamaross ya looking at it closer I think you are right. Lol
Its a soft low weight liner
I thought the same thing.
SUV flies into pieces? It's called an explosion. My 1982 high school diploma is more valuable than a modern day college education.
My used toilet paper in a frame is more valuable.
My degree from Couch University's Armchair Institute for Forensic Sciences in more valuable. Couch U, home of the Fighting Cushions. Go Cushions!
Rest easy. They will "investigate" what happened. Someone might earn a Nobel prize in the process.
She called it "a Sedan".

Maybe he should take that as a sign to quit smoking
lol 👍 - they can't connect the two
Your lack of spatial awareness is deafening
Or quit being stupid as a rock.

@@FynnOliverEmonSill do you know what “spatial awareness” means? 🙄
What is this world coming to? You can't even have a smoke while barbequing in your SUV, in a shopping center parking lot at 2 in the morning.
i know, people frown upon those gasoline playfight enthusiasts. what can go wrong if you decide you need to smoke a cigarette??
What happened to cooking meth in an RV. You need the room.

“Flies into pieces,” who writes this crap.
Who writes your crap? You don’t even know what a question mark is.

Yes Joe Biden just gave homage to Kamala Harris as a DEI hire 🤣 cuz if you don't vote for me then you ain't black 😂 a white liberal knows about these things
After all what she said, "the cause of the fire is under investigation"
yeah, weird. Let's see, propane in a confined space + a source of ignition.
there was no signs of fire…

I'll give them three guesses and the first two don't count.

No fire at all, just a quick release of energy. All that twisted metal, surprised this guy is alive. People heard this explosion 3 miles away.
If people heard this explosion three miles away, they probably felt the impact of the explosion by broken windows as well. I'm not only surprised this guy survived but I would guess he suffered hearing loss. A blast that loud would certainly destroy one's hearing. This guy is very, very lucky to be alive.
He’s alive but he won’t be hearing much for awhile.
He is lucky the tanks were most likely in the back seat and he was in the front from the video of the car.
The tree was wearing his balls like earrings 🎉
My goodness, I'm glad he survived! It would be interesting as to why the car exploded. He had to have some gasoline fumes from a firewall leak under the hood, into the passenger compartment or had a propane tank which was in the car passenger area but had a slow leak. But one normally can detect gasoline fumes, but not propane, certainly not unscented methane.
It's not a sedan. Cause of the fire under investigation? 😂
It's the FN propane.
Reporter was stupid to go under that tree.
Sh.tty reporting as usual
The true sounds of a double digit IQ on her
Cause of fire=stupidity. Probably smoking weed or meth or something. This is in California? Then yes.
No... The cause of the explosion was the FN Idiot in the car.
Anyone else think the reporter is nuts for standing under the tree with that big hunk of metal in it?
LOL yeah. Look straight over my head at that large piece of sheet metal precariously sitting in this tree.
Eh. That looks like headliner. Fiber board, foam and textile. She’s aight.
Its Fiber board used under the car
Thought the same, a little wind and that inside door panel is coming down on her head.
Yes,where is the caution tape.Santa Ana winds will take care of it.Where is the store manager?
That 4runner probably still runs. They are that good.
I just saw it driving down I-5 by a guy with singed hair, smoking a cigarette.
I mean probably. Unless it severed some electrical components to run the engine. Not really much of an achievement. More just random chance.
@@nathanb7281 Nah that was Richard Pryor
I would buy it for parts... the engine and trans are probably intact.
@@KB-ke3fi Nah, Richard Pryor died a couple of decades ago.
These no-smoking campaigns are getting out of hand.
Yeah it's pretty funny to say that the cause is still under investigation. "Propane tanks and cigarette lighter?" "Nah, let's keep looking..."
Lightening? ⚡️ Could have been a dr0ne strike? 🤷♂️ Definitely not intentional
It's always clear the kind of people never were and never will be suited for police work!! 😂
@@RustyZipper Why do you make up explanations with no evidence and the cause was already explained?? 🙄
@@RustyZipper Not lightening since he wasn't pregnant, but lightning, yeah, that might be possible. ("lightening" with that e in the middle is, "a sense of decreased weight and abdominal tension felt by a pregnant woman on descent of the fetus into the pelvic cavity prior to labor"
@@scottfw7169 - irregardless, it definitely was not intentional
Homeless.....in a $50,000 4Runner......or at least it WAS ONE. Insurance company----"we can fix that!!!"
🤣🤣🤣
i know right? poor 4 runner
I guess he is one of the lucky ones to have a new vehicle to live in after losing the means to pay for housing...or whatever happened...it's getting to be more and more common to become homeless.
@@barryulrich2170 well now he dont have even that... when he's released from Hospital where to then? I'm sure he isn't employed
Gotta love those 4Runners. It’s just like mine.
Here’s a college educated news reporter standing under a tree with a large hunk of what could be part of the metal roofing, lodged in a tree that could cut loose at any second. I didn’t know stupidity was a curriculum for a college course. Guess I was wrong.
There's a reason we print journos call our TV counterparts 'airheads'.
News reporters are mostly liberals, not too smart
Pretty sure physics and botany where not classes she had for a 'media communication' degree.
While I am not saying it is smart to stand under the debris, I am pretty sure that is the noise insulation that goes under neath the headliner panel, I just took apart my 4runner interior to noise insulate it better and that looks exactly like the insulation under the headliner, so it wouldn't hurt her if it came off the tree
The dangers of eating Taco Bell in a closed environment. Lol
The propane is just an excuse.

@@theblade9024 They were Probably Smoking Meth
One of my favorite SNL Chris Farley sketches. 😂🚘〰
How in the world did he survive all those projectiles from that explosion. That is amazing. Just minor injuries, too? Amazing!
Previously, he was bitten by a radioactive idiot.
His seat protected him. The explosion happened in the back of the car.
He was in on the job….
All the pieces were flying away from where the explosion originated.
Being more or less centered in the blast, he experienced a pressure pulse all around him, minimizing any pressure differentials across his body.
Pieces tend to fly away from the center of an explosion, not towards it.
Maybe he was a projectile too.
Like that Cheech and Chong movie where Chong lights a doobie after he & Cheech were siphoning gasoline.
😂 right! This guy missed the movie I guess. Shame.
That was my first thought as well.
That Toyota would probably start right up and drag itself off the lot.
was just thinking that lol
reminds me of when top gear beat the hell out of a hilux and it still drove despite being bent at about a 20 degree angle

Mister homeless 4Runner explosion guyyyy! Background singers: Puff Puff
remember those budweiser commercials?
Bizzare story aint adding up !
That WAS about a $40,000 late model Toyota Forerunner SUV - not a "sedan", clearly.
What kind of person who can swing a $40,000 SUV lives in it ?
It was a propane cylinder explosion & he must have NO sense of smell because enough gas % to blow that thing SKY HIGH would have been smellable 5 parking spots away.
Is it just me or do these TV "reporters" get stupider & less insightful with every passing year ?
Propane is heavier than air and collects in low spots.
I'm going to guess he was huffing the propane and decided to light a cigarette. It's a no-brainer.
The man himself is the no-brainer here.
First they have to rule out the possibility that the SUV was electric, right?
It was propane. He had some kind of propane tanks in the car and lit up a cigarette. One of the tanks was leaking or he was huffing. @@stilusfractus7930
It was leaking and the correct fuel to air ratio was achieved, then kaboom.
"Hmmm. I have propane tanks in my car, I tried to light a cigarette and the car exploded. Must have been a harmonic disconvergence of some kind in the universe."
Idiot will probably sue Toyota and Bic lighters!
Ok, my biggest problem with this report is that she referred to a 4-Runner as both a car and a sedan. Really? A 4-Runner is a pretty serious truck. One of Toyota’s gems.
It's just another one of Toyota's crappy SUVs!
How about the fact she refers to Butane as Propane! 😅
@@cyberGEK ok, missed that one! 😂🤣😂
not a truck but ok.
What size bed is on that truck??? Not a truck!
For those of you confused as to what happened, It was Butane, he was making Hash oil, didn't have proper ventilation and a spark did the rest.
Didn’t think of that one 😂 but I doubt he was doing a butane extraction for hash oil lmao It’s more likely he was smoking meth and his lighter ran out of fuel. Didn’t open a window while recharging the lighter and couldn’t wait for a hit.
If he used the brand of butane shown in the video he’d be hella disappointed when he realized there are sulfur based chemical odorants in it that ended up in his BHO! 🤮 1:01
Maybe he was used yo the smell of gas in his car?
First thing i thought of
Crossed my mind as well - if he had just hooked up a heater ot stove, and it leaked he would smell it (and presumably, not light up). Dunno... suspicious.
Yup, animals are getting smarter, and humans dumber
We've had it too easy for far too long. The survival instinct is disappearing from the species.
The movie "Idiocracy " be like
The movie Idiocracy is based on the truth.
This man will never win the lottery now, he used up all of his luck in that explosion. Minor injuries is amazing considering the force behind that explosion.
The bottle you so dramatically show is butane not propane.
Now think back to what they told you were in the shots! 🤣
"flies into pieces"?
That's not too bright standing under the tree when a gust of wind could dislodge the car piece. 🤪
That 4Runner still probably worth $20k$
Why do some people choose to ignore the warning labels that are on the propane tank cage and on the tanks themselves, they're there for a reason. He's lucky to be alive.
Johnny Can't Read by Yousef A. Teacher
Or won't read.
Wonder if he was homeless or one of those people that travel around the US living in their cars. 4Runners are pricey.
Could be anything from "extended low-cost road trip for adventure seekers" to "unhoused".
California. This is probably a guy that has a decent job and just can't afford an apartment so he's living in his car. Probably partially caused by a ridiculous car payment.
I've had to do it before myself. Lived in my car for 3 months in Vegas. Was nice because I didn't look homeless so no one bothered me in the casinos. I'm sure it would be a different story if I had looked like a bum.
@@joeg5414 Summertimes I sometimes go on long motorcycle camping trips. The low budget kind, like under $25/day. Probably looks grubby to most folks.
@@surelyyoujokemeinfailure7531Who cares as long as you put some savings away. Keep at it and best of luck
Would imagine the guy is also unclothed after that little surprise 😵
I DOUBT HE WAS SMOKEING A CIGARETTE , MAYBE SOMETHING ELSE. HE IS LUCKY TO BE ALIVE . MAY GOD HELP HIM !
Wasn't your god the one that did this to him?
The worst part is now he's just yet another unhoused person in California... That was his bottom rung that literally burst before his eyes... Very sad!
I live in the middle of Trumpland unfortunately, and there's plenty of homeless here, too.
I was thinking the same thing. Where's he going to go after he's been treated at the hospital?
He’s not homeless
When the victim was interviewed after the explosion, he repeatedly kept saying, “What? Did you say something? What?”
I’m surprised he didn’t smell the gas prior to igniting his lighter.
He was probably used to smelling it, he did LIVE in his car!
@@brucebarnes1696 propane and some aerosols are heavier than air.
Probably was very high on meth 😂
I've filled propane tanks many times. It doesn't have a strong odor.
Smoking dulls the sense of smell.
"flies into pieces" ?? LOL, what the h3ll kind of title is that.
people that get a d in college
@@billmadison2032 You mean an F
They couldn't remember the word "exploded".
spicy headlines get more viewers
It sure looks like the pieces went flying to me. That's how I would describe it.
How braindead do you have to be to say, "inside a vehicle," "several small propane canisters," "was lighting up a cigarette," and then short order follow it up with the "cause is still under investigation"?
So, it took 1 min 8 seconds of a 1:27 video to get to the "actual cause", but made sure to let us know you were in a parking lot!! Boy, sure glad that was cleared up!
Its a Toyota, you can drive that to the farthest body repair
Thanks to the 5 or 6 that have convinced me- no need to get good car reviews anywhere else today.
Sedan…isn’t that a Toyota 4Runner
Its a sedan now.
Minor injuries? Tell that to his ear drums. Yeesh!
That dude's gonna have some serious tinnitus now!
Darwin Award Winner, 🏆 You just HAVE to have a cigarette?
He not only had cigarettes but had a six pack of beer in the vehicle, yet he was homeless. Where the hell are people's priorities ???. Beer and cigarettes are more of a priority than food and housing ???
@@larrybruce4856 beer is a food! cigarette smokers light up w/o using their brain. Boom.
@@larrybruce4856that's a really nice ride to be homeless in, my guess is he's newly homeless , maybe just lost a job. the whole story was weird
My father used to
Own a gas station/repair shop. One day a customer was filling his car with gas when the pump backed up and sprayed gasoline on his business suit. Spectators could tell he was furious and after he paid for his gas he got back into his car. In his anger he wasn’t thinking straight and started to light a cigarette. My father spotted him from the office and got on the loudspeaker yelling “Don’t light that cigarette!”. The man blanched and slumped over just before he would have lit his lighter, the cigarette still hanging from his lips. He sat there in shock for a good 20 minutes before he composed himself and drove off. We never saw him again but I’ll bet that would be the last cigarette he would ever try to light again.
What they showed is butane, not propane. Butane isn't odorized the way propane is, (at least none I have ever used) so would be easier to miss.

You are lucky to walk away from that, at least you are alive!
Toyota 4 Runner one of the most reliable vehicles.
It's just another one of Toyota's crappy SUVs!
I have a 24 Trd Pro 4runner and a 19 Trd off road manual Tacoma. They are the best.
@stevie-ray2020 hahahaha your name says it all. You forgot Jr. Lol.
@@stevie-ray2020because you have to be blind not to realize it's the number one suv around. Most reliable and best resale value.
@@Marine2111usmc Lots of recalls in recent years! The most popular & reliable SUV in my country would have to be the Subaru Forester! Even the Ford Ranger is outselling Hi-Lux utes these days, with the Mitsubishi Triton not far behind the expensive Toyota! Keeping their value is irrelevant if they're overpriced for what you get to start with!
The curious thing is why they didn't throw all that garbage into the wreck before they towed it off.
Because, you know: "Not my job, man."
This is why they ask you not to smoke near propane tanks. It's called common sense.
Well barbeque grills use propane tanks and the grill lights up. Go figure.
Dude is very fortunate he still is drawing breath.
Wow, that's insane. Glad he survived, but it really sucks that his vehicle and his home are now gone.
unintended acceleration
Another one blew up last week same style explosion. The other one nobody was in the car. Are they still using butane cooking weed to make some kind of hashish that blew up that apartment building 6 months ago also in California.?
“Gimme a light. NO! BUD LITE!” Oldie but a goodie.
Strange...F B I and police let her touch things???? 🐂💩
Can't believe you just said he is "expected to be ok." No. He just lost everything. He's not going to be ok.
She’s clearly not referring to his financial status. He’ll be ok physically you silly
@@bolbiitp7850 and you just did what the reporter did, which is to brush right past the fact that this man is now without even a car to live in. but he'll be "ok". who are you trying to reassure, is my question.
@@MikeC2K10 If he's stupid enough to light a cigarette in a car filled with propane, he wasn't "OK" to begin with.
The vehicle is insured.
Hopefully he had insurance.
I bet that guy never smokes again
i already have plenty of phobias... i never should have watched this.
So much for the internet "experts" saying that no one was in the car.
It's hard times for experts in general.
Yeah all these experts commenting trying to run the reporter down who know exactly nothing.
that large piece of the car still hanging from the tree - why didnt fire crew remove that when they were there with equipment - it will now fall on someone and cause injury or damage to vehicle -- lawsuit ?? who cleans up all the other scattered debris ??
Looks like lightweight stuff like they use to line the inside of panels to keep the noise down.
Imagine if you are driving a hydrogen car.
It wouldn't explode. The pressurized hydrogen would escape from the tank too quickly.
Gives a new meaning to light it up!😮
Do you smoke after sex? "Not if I use lubrication".
Taco bell gas?
Nice one.😂😂😂😂😂😂
It is no wonder that today's cars and trucks no longer has cigarette lighters. Plus, second-hand smoke is a first rate killer, according to the American Cancer Society.
You remember Jerry Seinfeld said when he was offered a cigarette, "No thanks, I already smoke 2 packs of second hand packs a day."
I agree. I never smoked but i did enjoy the ashtray to put my chapstick, loose change and sunglasses in. But most cars now have ample space in the console or overhead storage for sunglasses, etc.
Some have cigarette lighters, including my friend's porsche.
Love all the smart people comments that apparently think propane tanks just explode that easily.
IKR you have to try really hard to get a propane tank to explode like that. A lot more than just lighting a cigarette nearby.
So glad he is still alive and going to make it. I don't like propane tanks of any size. I know they are used in camp stoves, but they give me the willies.
In considering what kind of cooking stuff to have if this hurricane season cuts my electric off again, I am opting for my charcoal hibachi and a stack of canned heat. Both easy to use, and with self-starting charcoal, I don't even have to use lighter fluid. If I lived in a car, I would not be doing a whole lot of cooking. Most stores have so many things to make meals from without cooking anything, it's just not necessary. A cooler with ice will keep most things safe to eat. When our electric went off for six days I lived out of cans, and made salads out of canned meats, vegetables and fruits. I had nuts, crackers, juice, parmesan cheese, oil and vinegar, breads, and coffee. That last was the problem. I didn't have any way to heat water. So I made cold coffee with no milk. Ugh.
This year I'll be ready. I also bought a good sized fan that runs on batteries, and I have gotten a load of "Cold Cloths," originally marketed as Snap Rags. I wish block ice was still sold. It would make things much easier for large populations with no way to keep food safe.
Liquid fuel stoves are dollar of dollar less expensive to operate than propane.
Well that blows.....
Smoking kills
Apparently it did not 😂
Wow! Years ago, I went to a YouHaul to fill a 5 gallon propane tank for my grill. I had the tank in my hand and tried to go into their office. They quickly shoed me out and told me never to bring a tank inside. I walked the tank over to their filling place and waited for 10 minutes until the guy came out. I thought they were being over cautious. But things like this make see the wisdom in their actions.
He was listening to that Eric Clapton's song that says “if you want to camp out, you got to take her out, Propane. “When the day is done and you want to get warm, Propane” “If you want to get down, blown to the ground, Propane. She don’t light, she don’t light, she don’t light, boom, Propane. Don’t forget this fact, your gonna turn black, Propane. I got bad news, your truck came unglued, Propane.
And the runner up for this year's Darwin award goes to...
He survived.
Propane tanks and cigarettes in a confined space...what could possibly happen?
It's still on four inflated tires and the engine compartment is intact. Being a Toyota, it probably still runs and drives. 😃
The thumbnail almost makes it look like an art exhibit a messed up art exhibit but an exhibit none the less
Cooking meth gone wrong 😂😂😂
Hmmm.....too many bean burritos then light up ? An almost Darwin Award ! Or maybe huffing those propane bottles?
Option B, definitely huffing those were butane 😂
The poor dude is in deep shock and can barely move but they think he'll be okay. He's going to have flashbacks every time he lights up another cigarette. And he's going to miss that car, big time. Not to mention the debt he just racked up.
Parts Were literally Everywhere!!
I found a hubcap in my backyard in Florida this mornin'!!
But still no word if the guy has had a cigarette yet...
😅😂😮
He has to ‘live’ in his car, but of course can afford cigarettes
What about that 4runner lol they aren't cheap id have a nervous breakdown if i bought & lost a new Toyota SUV besides my physical health being at risk..
Cigarettes, beer and a $60,000 Toyota Forerunner. Yet, he's homeless ??? Where are his priorities ???
He's in California and in California they give you a lot of free stuff including you can pitch a tent in Beverly Hills and get free healthcare, prepaid debit cards, free education, free housing, free food, etc- - - - - . California has become a government dependency give-a-way state, of our hard-working, taxpayer money.
I think he has a home base but probably lives in his car part-time for a nightshift job.
people choose to live in a vehicle for different reasons and no one should smoke or vape anyway
You know, cigarettes are just a little less expensive than a house or rent, right?
Why do we always see homeless people with cigarettes? How can they afford them??😲😲
Good question. Maybe their habit is why they can't afford an apartment?
I once spoke to a homeless man that hung out near the McDonald's drive thru and begged for money. He told me had $900 in his pocket.
@@motnosniv I once spoke with a woman who, with her daughter, impersonated homeless ppl, and raked in $100 a day, at which point they went home. To their home.
Smoking is bad for your health 😂
And Toyota😂
That was like a 50k home...
I knew you, heartless no-smoking crowd would say that.
My best, best friend in the whole world died of emyphemsia after she tried to quit smoking for over 15 years.
If you want to point fingers and blame somebody, point fingers at the cigarette companies who made them DELIBERATELY addictive. Then we need to go after the alcohol companies, and oh, wait, there are so many human failings we can sell products to.
We can START by teaching our children better; I mean actually being in the moment with them and teaching them.
Then there he's homeless...
DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See, they've been telling us for years that smoking is bad for your health.
Glad he wasn't hurt too bad but now he's homeless.
The SUV did NOT explode. It was the propane tanks that this fool had inside his SUV that exploded. Shalom
More likely leaking propane exploded.
A cartel hit. They are skillful at making things look like an accident.
You didnt bother to watch the video huh?
yeah sure Eddie
A car made of metal was literally destroyed and he survived with minor injuries? Holy 💩!
God bless him, and yes, a miracle that he’s alright!
even a baby could figure out a leaky propane filled car and cigarette make for a fiery combo...
There was no cigarette, no propane, just some late night taco bell.
Nice that they cleared up the mess.... 🤨
Smoking is bad for you.
There I said it, thank me later.
