I saw in another forum that a group of duck hunters that were hunting in Pool 26 on the Mississippi River suffered a serious explosion in the duck blind when a 100 pound propane tank fell over and the hose tore off. They were airlifted to the hospital suffering from serious burns. Praying that they'll be okay 🙏

Yikes....that's a lot of propane. I limit my propane heaters to the 1 lb bottles out of fear of what happened to those guys. I can't get myself to put one in a boat with a gasoline fuel tank either.
 
Hopefully they recover quickly.

A 100 pound tank is reletively safe but precautions need to be taken, sounds like it wasnt securely chained and they are very tippy. I had a buddy heater with a 1 pound tank go up in flames once...... pretty scary. Be safe.
