How close would you get to a fire at a gas station? The correct answer is, Not very.

That didn't stop an amateur videographer in Perth, Western Australia, who kept filming even after the place went up like a nuke (around the minute mark of this video).

The inferno began after a tanker caught fire as it refueled. When it blew, firefighters ran for their lives. There were still 12,000 gallons of gas in the tanker second compartment, so people living nearby were evacuated.

If that had exploded, or if the station's underground tanks had gone up, all hell would have let loose.
