There's another picture of the car and it shows that all the side curtain airbags deployed in the blast. I wonder if that helped in his surviving?

I was following a woman driving her new Chevy Tahoe yesterday and she forgot to put the gas cap on after a fill-up. The guy next to her told her about it when she was stopped at a red light.

Light turned green and she kept driving as if it wasn't a big deal. I was scratching my head and thought some people just don't understand the basics of things. Fumes from gasoline + a small current or spark means BOOM!!

Seriously, the guy is from Saskatchewan, (Hard to spell, easy to draw), they are the same folk who could not count to twelve in the last second of the Grey Cup game and lost because they had too many men on the field.
