According to news articles
They were transporting a portable grill with a portable cylinder, one or two pound throw away type
They neglected to remove the cylinder
Some how bumped a knob, when loading the grill into the car
So the valve was open, leaking propane in the car
It was not 'on' in the sense of being used aka burning
Just accidently on
Still stupid and lazy,, it takes like 30 seconds to unscrew a propane bottle, maybe less
Then of course they had the propane flash explosion aka ignition of the vapor in the car
I agree that this is probably 50% stupidity and 50% accident. But I'll echo a previous post in that it's more evidence that smoking is bad for you. If they weren't smokers they probably wouldn't be injured, and still have their Kia and grill.
