The tank landed 900 feet away into a neighbor's home, creating a crater in the roof and floor. Officials say they're amazed no one was hurt, including the man who flew into the air.
A Channelview man walks away with a few scrapes after accidentally sending a natural gas tank 900 feet away into his neighbor's home on Avenue C.Two homes were destroyed in one freak accident on the east of Houston on Monday evening.
The compressed natural gas tank now sits in one family's front yard after leaving a crater through the roof of their home and the floor of their living room. Nine hundred feet away on Sheldon Road, ABC13 met Antonio Medralo, who said the tank went flying from his yard, and it's something he never expected.Medralo said he was tired of seeing it lying at his home since they bought it years ago and decided to use a saw to try to splice it to throw it away. Bystanders told ABC13 they heard a loud explosion and spotted sawdust, and a man, who we now know is Medralo, in the air.
