from the sounds of it, he was working in a coal-bed methane set-up. Having worked in a coal mine, i know ( and so should he) that the first rule is, no smoking anywhere, or ya get blown up. Might be he was out of the flame restricted area, but if it was alright, why didn't he light one up OUTSIDE the porta potty? he was probably doing something he shouldn't have been doing. Got what was coming to him.
I was actually looking into this thread cause I thought it might have a similar situation to what happened to me.
I was havin a party at my house, an a bunch of people had just arrived. and old friend was with this group, and he asked if he could use my washroom to wash his hands (of course,, why not?). He goes in, I hear him turn on the tap, an sudenly, there's a big crash, a sploosh, buddy yells, and I rip open the door to see buddy at one end of the bathroom, and the toilet, in pieces, at the other, with water an inch deep all over, and spraying everywhere. For some odd reason, the tank on the back just exploded, and hit dude in the back with some porcelain. every plumber/glazier/home depot guuy I asked could only scratch his head....
