Did a search and didnt see where this was posted by anyone. Those in fire/EMS fields and those of us who work in plants should note the ideal BLEVE conditions in this vid. Ive also included a short, very well done video explaining how BLEVE occurs.

Excellent video none the less.

The critical temp of propane is 97°C/207°F. Above that temp it is always a gas, and when it vaporizes, for lack of a better word, the pressure becomes too great for the container to handle, so it ruptures.

The white stuff in the video is a cloud of propane.

Excellent, very instructional video.
