Whether you move them to the jungle or not this fire bomb was waiting to happen according to Murphy’s Law: “if something is going to happen, it will happen one of these days”. Remember the American Shuttle explosion; the chain is as weak as its weakest link

ABOVE & BELOW: These cylinders opened up along the welded seams and exploded. They would also fly somewhere and gravity would bring them down. These "bombs" caused no "harm" as they are NOT filled with shrapnels or metal parts. They make loud explosive noise and just burned out. 
ABOVE & BELOW: The adjacent buildings were also affected when the "cylinder missiles" came flying in attacking. But they did not cause much fire. The direction of these missiles depended on which part of the cylinder ruptured. It will fly a distance if the bottom part is opened and the explosive force acts like a jet to propel the cylinder in the direction it was angled.
ABOVE: An aerial view of the burnt out acetylene cylinders and other gas containers. Many did not explode as the built up pressures were insufficient to rupture the cylinders due to insufficient heats and others just leaked off the gas when the valves gave way. The cylinders placed at the outer walls were again not affected (but only charred) as the radiated heat was also not strong enough. BELOW: A closer view, some of the cyliners were distorted in shape. Looks like "BBQ" sausages

It took more than an hour before the blaze was put off. Several explosions were heard at the height of the fire when the huge gas tanks exploded.
ABOVE: The police personnel arrived at the scene and they had nothing much to do as the residential flats were far away and not much people bother to go there to watch the inferno even though they heard the explosions. Sleep is better.
A total of 60 officers from the fire services department and the Fire & rescues team were involved in putting out the blaze.

As the factory lots in Shah Alam are well spaced apart with wide separating walls, there was no danger of the fire spreading but adjacent buildings were also affected.

It emerged that the chemical plant only a few staff members and guards in the explosion, and they escape. According to save the near-reported to the Board immediately. According to the chemical factory in that explosion occurred, it caused a raging fire, a large air pressure barrel because of the fire. 30 meters long missiles opposite the factory to the ground.

The warehouse was burnt to ashes, a large air crash flown barrel.
He said that the plant usually have taken preventive measures, there would be no human negligence, I believe is only one accident. Acetylene is a highly flammable gas acetylene news dictionary, called oxy - acetylene, is the smallest member of synthetic hydrocarbons. Its chemical formula C2H2. Acetylene at room temperature is a colorless, and highly flammable gas, and the existence of the garlic smell. More than 100 kPa pressure that would occur in a very violent chemical reaction, and back to carbon and hydrogen. Generally, acetylene mainly for industrial use, especially welders, metal, It also has been used carbide lights (light vehicles and the miners).
