A Drum Role Please.....
Petroleum fumes and a plasma cutter + sealed drum are a bad combination. Mr Christopher Chatfield was making Pheasant feeders at his workshop near Warboys, Cambridgeshire. Having manufactured 6, he sourced oil drums from a local garage to make some more. Unfortunately, not heeding a flash of flame when cutting the first of the drums as a warning sign, the third drum appears to have had a little more petroleum remaining than the first, exploding and causing a 'massive penetrating head injury that would have been instantly fatal'from the lid of the drum. A narrative verdict was recorded by the coroner.
The lesson being an Unpleasant Pheasant Feeder Plasma Phenomenon. Fire and fuel don't mix well in confined spaces. RIP.
