In most states, it's illegal to transport oxygen and acetylene tanks inside of a closed cabin vehicle. Why. Ask the owner of this 2012 Honda Civic. Jackie Sugrue's boyfriend, a plumber, left his welding rig inside the vehicle's trunk while the couple went shopping.

When the wife hit the remote trunk release, the mechanism generated enough of a charge to ignite the fumes, causing the gas inside to explode.
