Some people hate doing laundry, and others find doing the laundry soothing. I don't think that most people think about explosions in association with laundry! Everyone has a story about leaving something in a pocket while doing laundry. It never turns out well, but it's usually not life threatening. This video is from Spain where someone is seen leaving a laundromat just moments before there's an explosion and a dryer is engulfed in flames. The crazy part is the explosion created a force so strong that the windows of the place were blown out, so it's possible that if someone HAD been inside, they would've been seriously injured or even killed. Thankfully, it sounds like no one was hurt. Authorities think that the fire was caused by someone leaving their lighter inside a pant pocket. That alone probably wasn't enough to cause this big of an explosion. There was probably something wrong with the dryer, or the lighter, OR both that caused the fire. Check it out:
