To be pedantic the article says “compression bottle”, but news.com.au has never been famous for accurate reporting.If picture and text of the article are to be believed, "explosion" might be pretty correct. The text stares that it was a deco cylinder and the picture seems to depict a fireball. Given that windows were blown out, it seems to be more than just an O2-rich "fire".

The local paper in Geelong may have more information but it is behind a paywall when I try to access it
it might work outside Australia

For whatever reason it does not show as a video for me, but a static image. When I first saw it I couldn't make out much of anything but the fireball, but with the foreknowledge of the content, I do see the car elements.The fireball video I saw was of 2 people torching a stolen car and it fireballed in there face. Don't know why that was embedded in the middle of a scuba shop article?
That Murdoch news rags likes to put random videos that have nothing to do with the article. I assume to drive advertising revenue. They seem to be "tag" matched, so they'll show any random video of an explosion in this example.The fireball video I saw was of 2 people torching a stolen car and it fireballed in there face.

Says it all, would not even use it on the bottom of a bird cage, well, birds crapping on it works for me.That Murdoch news rags
