A male employee at the Sonic location on the 5100 block of W 34th St in Houston is lucky to be alive after a tank of acetylene in his trunk suddenly exploded just as he was leaving work at the fast food joint on Friday night, FOX 26 Houston reports without explaining why the fuck a fast food worker had a tank of a highly volatile fuel in his car. The unidentified employee had gotten behind the wheel to head home from work at approximately 11:15 Friday night when he smelled gas in his car and immediately stepped out, upon which the tank exploded, sending shrapnel flying hundreds of feet. The man was hospitalized in serious condition, says the report, which again makes no attempt to explain why in God’s name this idiot had acetylene in his trunk.
