Bologna explosion: Two dead and up to 70 injured after truck explodes near airport in Italy

A huge explosion on a highway near Bologna airport in northern Italy has killed two people and left at least 70 injured, some with serious burns, police said.

The explosion was caused when a tanker truck carrying explosive materials crashed in a traffic accident.

The news agency ANSA said the tanker was carrying liquefied petroleum gas. 

Footage and pictures on social media showed the blast and thick black smoke billowing into the sky.

Several rescue and emergency squads were sent to the scene, Italy’s firefighters tweeted, including one from their urban search and rescue team.

Italian news channel Sky TG24 reported that some of the injured people had been hit by flying glass when windows in nearby buildings exploded.

Police said they had closed off the motorway as well as the surrounding area in Borgo Panigale, on the outskirts of Bologna.

“Due to an accident on the Autostrada, there was an explosion resulting in a fire at Via Marco Emilio Lepido.

“Impaired circulation, not only on the highway, but also in the area of Borgo Panigale.”

In a tweet about the explosion, the city’s airport said it was not affected.

“Huge explosion on the Bologna motorway, Bologna airport is not involved, flights are running regularly,” the airport said on its Twitter account.

Video also showed cars and bushes on fire at a Peugeot dealership beneath the motorway.

The person filming then zooms out to show damage to the balcony they are standing on.

Gasoline or LNG?

it's a generic term for propane or butane.

If only you had access to the internet and simple tools like google or wiki

Are we certain the burning Peugeots didn't cause the tanker explosion?

We call it LPG.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), is a fuel in liquid form at or below its boiling point (-44 degrees F) and when it is stored under pressure, otherwise it turns to gas (or vapor). A propane and butane mixture has been successfully used for over 95 years in more than 270,000 American vehicles and over 13 million worldwide used mainly as a vehicle fuel or to easily identify a leak (due to the smell).

I had it once.  It wasn't bad.  Not something I'm craving, or anything....but it had its charm.

Didn't someone post a bologna explosion last week on the Hey Steel Shank thread?

Fried bologna sandwich with egg on white toast is not uncommon out here.  But then again, so is moonshine and incest.

Pass the moonshine.... hold the rest of that other shit...

something is seriously wrong with Italy...   They have a specific sign for vehicle fire...  I was there for a week and I saw 3 truck fires...  One was a no holds barred Car-BQ...  our friends saw another 2 during that same time frame...  say what you want about regulations they clearly need more
