TFA got it both wrong and right - the nasal cannula caught fire, not the oxygen tank.

Oxygen doesn't burn. It is not a fuel. It isn't flammable. It won't explode or ignite when exposed to an ignition source. The nasal cannula that caught fire only did so when it fell into the grill and was heated to its ignition point.

Grant you, after that it's going to be pretty dramatic.

erewhon: Thanks for pointing that out. Oxygen is an oxidizer not a fuel.

"The oxygen tube fell off his head and ignited," said Lt. Tom Urban of the Melbourne Fire Department.

That is just pure gold.

Obviously, it's something to do with Americans and the 'special' spellings they sometimes have.

No, O2 does not burn...but it sure makes everything around it burn EXTREMELY WELL. Like briquettes, kebabs, skewers, plastic, skin, clothing, Floridians...

I like to've been there...at a safe distance.

If you took an oxygen tank diving you'd be dead.

Ya O2 dose not burn but if the o2 in the tank heats up enough it can go bang. will not burn but just be like throwing a spray can into a fire.

I rest my case . . . . . . . Heliox simply replaces nitrogen with helium, same oxygen percent (21%). It prevents nitrous oxide poisoning (rapture of the deep, 3 martini dive, etc.). . . and does not prevent the bends . . . . you know not what you are talking about . . . . so I'm getting a kick . . . .

Back when I was training to be a first responder, the trainer took a lit cigarette, put it into the end of the hose attached to the tank and turned on the O2. That cig was down to the filter in under two seconds.

Trivia: The Apollo 1 tragedy was because the astronauts were in a compressed pure oxygen environment - great for fires, and their only escape was a door that opened in, and the compressed atmosphere pushing out, keeping it shut.

=====================

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Seriously dude, lay off the drugs.

Did your mother never tell you that oxygen is what fuels a fire? Oxygen IS fuel. Gasoline isn't. Oxygen is.

You wanna see a fire leap up like you'll never imagine? Pour some liquid oxygen into it.

Heliox can vary at least from 10% to 30% oxygen (perhaps even more or less). I have no idea what proportions are used in diving - my point was that any diving gas system must contain some oxygen. But I suppose you never disputed that ;)

/Chipmunk divers are still hilarious.

OK . . . the point was that the original farker (TMS, however innocently and long gone I'm sure) called scuba tanks "oxygen" tanks. They are "air" tanks, containing a normal fraction of O2. Then PfB stated that if you dive with O2 (only) you will die and PfB is correct.

Then you said something about Heliox, which is not O2 but a mixture similar to air (21% O2 and ~79% N) or adjusted according to the dive requirements only replacng nitrogen with helium (expensive by the way). My mistake, I thought you thought the Heliox was some sort of different O2. I see now you know what Heliox is.

As a diver for the past 40 years, it is always amusing that people refer to scuba tanks as O2 tanks and I almost never hit the fine point with them, but this is fark and I am bored and it was easy.

What is nitrous oxide poisoning?

Look up Narcosis. It is pretty simple and taught in basic scuba classes.

you know not what you are talking about

That kind of arrogant stupidity will kill you when diving with mixed gases.

Give it up TMS, nitrous oxide poisoning is narcosis, it is poisoning. It happens when your depth is such that the AIR in the tank is being delivered to you as nitrous oxide instead of O2 and N because of the pressure . . . . somewhere around 100 to 120 feet . Some people have more resistance than others. If you dive with pure O2, you will die at 1A, about 30~33 feet depending on the water density.

Enuf . . . if you think scuba tanks are full of O2, so be it.

3 things must be present for a fire to occur: heat, fuel, and oxygen. You can't have a fire if you don't have all three.

For Christ's sake give the man some shish kabob!

Oh, I see now, despite the fact that you called it an "Oxygen tank", you really meant mixed gas tank . . . and you didn't really mean that blowing a scuba tank on a fire would accelerate the "oxidation" at a level faster than a normal air supply would . . . Oh fark, never mind . . . . . . I see you claim to be a part time diver instructor . . . I have never heard a real diver call a scuba tank an Oxygen tank, live and learn . . . . or you were just trying to be funny.

In the photo I Boobiesed I am wearing 5 tanks. The 2 tanks on my back have Trimix (O2, N2 and Helium), the tank attached to my back plate has Argon for my drysuit, the tank on my on my right side contains Nitrox and the tank on left contains 100% O2

Sorry dude but you really need to look into standard decompression procedure. 100% O2 is what we use at the 20 fsw stop

I think you fall into the "know it all" recreational diver.

Good luck with that.

Borrowing your arrogance, I assume you will bail on this thread now.

worthlessjuan:I also love the comment by someone who called oxygen and oxidizer, well, Duh!

It's amazing how many people don't know that. I think that person was pointing out that it was an oxidizer as opposed to a fuel.

Again, I rest my case. You DO NOT USE O2 at depth. You breath all sorts of mixtures not including nitrogen depending on the depth you are going. The 20 fsw stop is at ~20 feet or maybe 6M but above 30 feet. It will out gas you faster. My respects to you if you actually do that kind of relatively dangerous diving but I don't think I have said anything inaccurate.

Sorry dude, I haven't died in 40 years of, yes recreational diving. Give me a clue about the pic, how can someone tell that the tank on your left is O2.


Give it up TMS, I wasn't attacking you, I was simply pointing out that you do not dive with O2 tanks, you dive with air tanks. I didn't think this would get into the finer details of professional or technical diving. O2 below 30 feet is toxic. Prove me wrong, you even stated you were using Trimix and Nitrox and used the O2 for final de-gassing at 20 feet. I don't see your problem with what I have said.
