Disaster in Libyan Hospital as Oxygen System Explodes
2021-03-22
[LIBYAREVIEW] On Saturday, the medical oxygen supply system in the military field hospital in Ajdabiya went kaboom!, the cause of which is still unknown.In a press statement, the Director of the military field hospital in the city of Ajdabiya, Abdul al-Aali Zaqzaq, reported that seven COVID-19 patients were transferred from the field hospital to the Mohammed el-Magariaf Central Teaching Hospital to complete the necessary treatment.
"Anybody got a smoke?"
Zaqzaq confirmed that the earth-shattering kaboom did not result in the injury on any patient. However,
if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well...
it led to the system’s suspension and damaged the oxygen tubes.

The incident, according to Zaqzaq, affected eight patients receiving treatment on the respirators at the hospital at the time of the accident, they are all safe and continuing their original treatment.

#1  Oxygen supports combustion. Nasal cannula perhaps ignited. Face mask high liter flow. Smoking perhaps. Seems to me their pluming must have been plastic to burn like a fuse. Bulk tank should not have blown up if liquid (-200 degrees). Compressed gas tank?. Easily 2000 psi. Bulky and heavy.
