how on earth ? ? ? ?

MYSTERY surrounds how a 60kg “torpedo” gas cylinder crashed into roof of this Great Coates couple’s dream home.

The 5ft-long cylinder hit the roof, bounced into the next door’s garden, and struck their garden wall – before finally landing in the road outside.

how on earth did this happene ?

i live near this place and it is neara industrail site but still it would have a fair way to travil to get to the house.....

Holy crap that's crazy I wonder how the heck that happened

If the valve is broken off these things can fly for hundreds of meters. I wonder if there are any weld shops in the area.

good knows but if it did come from the industrail site it must of had alot of power behind it and fyling high.....

How did it happen? The top broke off, it hit something propelling it up wards, and then landed in that persons pad.

Or it materialized because the persons Karma was bad.

(see how i just said the same thing twice? )

yeah i think there is but still you would of thought the firm might of told the police it was them

I don't say this is how it happened, but there is enough pressure in those things to propel them that high.

Yeah I would agree, there's so much pressure in these things that despite their weight they can travel very far; maybe something like a DIY weld gone wrong?

I'll just add: it's would have not would of (or even would've would be fine)

Looking at the top of it in the picture, it doesn't look like there is a broken piece of valve left in the hole. Although it is difficult to see clearly.

If it did become airborne from the valve getting knocked off, I would think the noise of such an event would have been noticed, even in an industrial area.

Certainly, if it had exploded, you would think the boom would have caused a commotion.

I remember the A-Team launched bottles like this at the bad guys by knocking the valves off and using a ramp to launch them.

How about out of control magnetic levitation? That would be quiet.

Most likely an industrial accident, in my uninformed opinion.
