Nearmiss - my experience during rain and heavy wind

Last week I was on pilgrimage tour along with friends on a rented car. When we were nearing a temple town, there was heavy rain with winds. As we approached the temple, our driver stopped the car about 15 m away from a temporary structure made for temple function. Within 2 minutes, we saw the entire structure falling down on a car near, due to heavy winds. The occupants of the car ran away. Though, there was no damage, but it is an experience and we were saved by our driver's timely action.
We always tell workers at height not to work during rains/winds, but if people see the incident, I think, then only they will understand the meaning in it.

Gas cylinder leak

I heard an incident from my friend about LPG leak and fire. After the cylinder became empty, a filled cylinder was connected and when the burner was lit, leak was suspected. To ensure that the gas is leaking, they tested it by taking a lit match stick. Immediately, it caught fire at the regulator and they cried loud for help. Hearing the cries, a person outside, assuming robbery attempt, came with a stick. Seeing the fire, he hit the regulator with the stick which dislodged the regulator and gas fire also stopped.

Fire and fatalities during material movement in a lift

In an accident, two persons died while moving a medicine in large quantity through a material handling lift for repacking. It is stated that the material is combustible and the vapors caught fire and a spark caused fire and deaths.
As per the reports from various news papers, it appears that the material is combustible, volatile (vapour release), improperly packed, taken in large quantities, persons are inside a material handling lift, ignition source (spark) is present and trapped persons were unable to escape.
