Injured Man Survives Portable Toilet Explosion

Leaky Gas Pipe May Have Triggered Blast
POSTED: 7:32 am EDT July 23, 2004
A western Pennsylvania man who was burned when a lit cigarette in a portable toilet set off an explosion has returned home from a Morgantown hospital in West Virginia.
John Jenkins, 52, of Brave, Pa., says he suffered third-degree burns over 20 percent of his body and won't be able to return to work for several months.
Jenkins recalls little of the July 13th explosion.
He says all he remembers is sitting down and lighting a cigarette. When he struck the lighter, he says the whole top blew off.
Jenkins says a supervisor at North West Fuels Development told him that methane gas from a leaky stainless steel pipe about three feet under the portable toilet contributed to the explosion.
Jenkins is a plant operator at the company's Parris Shaft near Blacksville.
The pipe was part of a system designed to suck the gas out of abandoned coal mines nearby.
Jenkins was released from Ruby Memorial Hospital on Tuesday, a week after the explosion.
