The Last Resort: Vent and Burn

Transport Canada and its partners conducted experiments from 2004 to 2006 to further develop an emergency response measure, "the vent and burn technique" for highway tanks, by using commercially available shaped explosive charges. This video presents the results of these experiments. It was produced with the goal to increase awareness of the vent and burn procedure among emergency responders who may be called to an accident scene where other removal techniques cannot be used.
