An Ambulance was destroyed yesterday in the City of Munich (München) after a oxygen bottle blew up. The crew treat a patient inside the Ambulance, as they noticed a problem with the oxygen bottle. Immediately the crew escaped with the patient, moments later the bottle blew up.

not checking their bottles for broken seals it seems?
 
What does Druckgefäßzerknall men, explosion?


At a random guess i'd say someone lubbed up the cylinder centrally with the wrong lube.
