The shocking incident occurred right around noon on Saturday along General Luis Street, triggering immediate panic among local residents and completely halting normal activities in the busy commercial area as the airborne projectile wreaked unexpected havoc.
The sheer physical force of the sudden blast launched the heavy metal cylinder across a massive distance, turning it into a highly dangerous hazard.

The devastating impact completely shattered the taxi's windshield, severely damaging the car and abruptly leaving the owner without his primary source of daily income.
Expressing his utter disbelief and sudden loss of livelihood, taxi owner Inocencio San Miguel detailed the terrifying trajectory of the rogue tank.
Retaining his exact words from a television interview, he stated: “Malayo ang lipad eh. Biruin mo doon hanggang dito. Siguro, baka may isang kilometro ‘yun. Hanggang dito. Tumama naman dito sa pader na ‘yun. Mabuti doon wala namang tao. Sa ngayon po hindi po ako makapaghanapbuhay.”
The destruction was certainly not limited to the unfortunate vehicle. The flying acetylene tank also punched a massive hole straight through a nearby concrete wall.
Furthermore, the intense shockwave and flying debris severely damaged the ceiling of a gas station situated right beside the junk shop and violently snapped electrical wires from an adjacent utility pole.
According to a report by GMA News, the sheer magnitude of the blast was heavily felt by terrified tenants inside nearby apartment complexes and commercial buildings.
Local authorities and the Bureau of Fire Protection immediately cordoned off the entire junk shop area to safely conduct a thorough and meticulous investigation into what exactly triggered the catastrophic blast.
Ensuring public safety remains the top priority as investigators examine the strict handling of hazardous materials at the commercial site.
While the primary owner of the junk shop was not physically present during the initial police and media inquiry, on-site personnel were there to face the authorities.
Fortunately, representatives confirmed that formal discussions regarding proper financial compensation for the ruined taxi and lost livelihood are already underway with San Miguel, providing a necessary step toward accountability amidst the sudden destruction.
