UTAH COUNTY — A man is in critical condition with major burns to his body after an explosion inside a shipping container.
The Utah County Sheriff's Office said there were several different flammable fuels in the shipping container, located on private property along Hancock Ranch Road. The victim apparently walked in and lit a propane heater on the far side of the container, then walked back toward the entrance. The vapors inside then ignited and exploded right as he reached the edge of the container.
Officials said the man suffered second-degree burns on 35 percent of his body and less-severe burns to the rest of his body. He also suffered a critical injury to his right hand, which was nearly severed. Between the burns and other injuries, he is considered to be in life-threatening condition. Photos and videos from the scene show one shipping container blown apart, and another one adjacent to it that was heavily burned.
How does a shipping container explode? One would think that detail would be part of the headline.
