Question: By. Daniel Miller. PUBLISHED:. 05:28 EST, 29 January 2013. |. UPDATED:. 08:46 EST, 29 January 2013. This hapless driver had an incredible. escape when his natural gas-powered pick-up truck exploded as he was. filling up at a petrol station. Moments. before the blast, the man is seen standing next to the pump and appears. to realise something is wrong as he reaches out to pull the hose from. his vehicle. But just as he grabs hold of the black plastic tube the vehicle's gas tank, which is under enormous pressure, blows up. Scroll down for video. Filling up: The driver stands by a pump as he fill his pick-up truck with natural gas. Panic: Moments before the blast the man appears to realise something is wrong as he rips the hose away from his vehicle. The driver is caught by the full. force of the blast but manages to twist his face away and narrowly. misses being hit by the passenger door as it flies open. A. slow motion replay shows debris from the vehicle, including the heavy. metal gas tank itself, flying across the petrol station forecourt as the. man staggers away. Mercifully. the gas does not ignite, had it done so it is likely the entire petrol. station would have gone up in flames and the man would have almost. certainly been killed. Boom: The vehicle's high-pressure gas tank explodes just a few yards from where the driver is standing. Flashpoint: The gas tank blows up releasing a cloud of natural gas. The vehicle's door is sent flying open as debris is scattered over the forecourt. Clapped out: The vehicle is left a battered wreck as the man staggers across the forecourt. The incident happened at a petrol station in Southern Iran earlier this month. Despite. having the third largest amount of oil reserves in the world, Iran has. invested heavily in natural gas which is cheaper and cleaner burning.

By. Snejana Farberov. One of three suspects accused in the murder of an Aspen socialite has been cleared of all criminal charges in light of new evidence. The 9th Judicial District Attorney’s Office on Tuesday dropped first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder and accessory after the fact to murder charges against 62-year-old Nancy Styler. According to a press release put out by District Attorney Sherry Caloia, the decision to clear Styler in the murder case came after her office was presented last week with new evidence, but she did not elaborate in the statement on the nature of this evidence. Cleared: Nancy Styler, 62 (left) was released from jail Tuesday after being cleared of all criminal charges in the February murder of Aspen socialite Nancy Pfister, 57 (right), who died from blunt force trauma to the head. Styler, her husband, William Styler, 66, and Katherine Carpenter, 56, have been arrested in connection to the murder of Nancy Pfister, whose body was found in a closet at her home in February. ‘With the new information received and a lack of other evidence refuting the new information the district attorney could not prove that Ms. Styler was involved in the crimes,’ the DA said in the release to Aspen Times. Following a court hearing Tuesday evening, Mrs Styler was freed from Eagle County Jail, where she had been incarcerated without bond since her arrest in March. Her husband and Carpenter, who was the victim’s friend and bookkeeper, remained behind bars.William Styler is scheduled to appear in court for a status hearing on Friday. Nancy Styler’s attorney Garth McCarty said after the hearing that his client is happy to be exonerated, and hopes the charges being dropped helps bring some closure to the victim's family. The Stylers' arrest affidavits that were unsealed last week showed that police found nine blood spots inside the couple's Jaguar, ABC News reported. The murder weapon was discovered in a trash bag not far from Nancy and William Stylers' hotel room. Nancy Pfister, 57, was hit with a hard object that had a small, curved shape and died from a blunt force trauma to the head, according to the coroner's report released in April. She had been dead about 36 hours before her body was found on February 26. William and Nancy Styler, who had rented Pfister's Aspen home while she was in Australia, were arrested March 3 after moving out of the residence February 22. Katherine Carpenter, 56, an assistant to Pfister and a bank employee, was arrested March 14. Authorities said she called 911 to report she found Pfister's body in a closet of the home. Still behind bars: Nancy's husband William Styler III, 65 (left), and Pfister's friend Katherine Carpenter (right) remain jailed without bond on murder charges. Pfister. was the daughter of the late Betty and Art Pfister, longtime prominent. Aspen residents who co-founded the Buttermilk ski area west of town. Buttermilk Mountain has hosted the Winter X Games multiple times. Pfister's death was the first homicide case in Pitkin County in 12 years, not counting those classified as murder-suicides. Pfister wrote on Facebook on February 3. that 'the people that were supposedly taking care of my house are not. doing what they said they would do and they're not paying rent and they. haven't paid utilities'. Over the years, Pfister had paid. Carpenter, an employee at two Alpine bank branches in Aspen, to manage. her property and to walk her dog, Gabe, who came with the $4,000-a-month. lease. On February 6,. Pfister posted on Facebook that she was looking for new tenants and that. anyone interested should contact Carpenter. Ms Pfister, pictured left with her daughter Juliana, wrote on Facebook that she was returning early from Australia as she was having trouble with tenants who were not paying the rent. She subsequently returned from Australia and, days later, was found dead by Carpenter. Juliana Pfister attended those. proceedings surrounded by friends, telling ABC News that she couldn't. believe someone would kill her fun-loving mother because of an alleged. rent dispute. 'How could someone just be so angry that they got kicked out of a house?' she said. 'There's got to be something more. It's hard to understand that.' Investigators spent weeks at Pfister's house, removing many boxes and files as evidence.
