This is so. But what it shows is a massive failure of our educational 
system. Along with the failure to teach at least the rough outlines of 
probability (e.g. "you're far more likely to be killed by your 
neighbor's car than you are to be killed by terrorists"). And the 
ability to do quick mental sanity checks (both meanings of the phrase, 
I guess). The ability to understand significant digits seems to have 
been permanently lost when slide rules vanished.

Not too many years ago someone where i worked told me oxygen was an
explosive.

I mentioned he breathed it in.

Oh no he replied, that's air !

I pointed out that oxygen is part of air. And he should be more
careful when he inhales.

Next day my boss told me while that was techically funny, I shouldn't
do that. I pointed out politely, that is why the information he wanted
took longer than usual. The guy kept interrupting me. He shook his
head and said try getting rid of them some other way. I said I
wouldn't break any rules. Then he started to say something else, but
walked away mumbling to himself. I think the next time that guy looked
like he was headed for my cube, he was headed off by someone. At least
he never bothered me again. Which is what I wanted to happen.

Technically, it isn't.

However, if you have 25% oxygen in the atmosphere, just about
anything will start burning uncontrollably.

There was an accident close to where I work a few years ago.
Somebody did some grinding in an enclosed space, and the
oxygen concentration in that space were elevated.  (Why the
required measuement beforehand was not pefromed, I don't know).

After a spark fell on his clothing (which was flame-resistant,
but not at elevated temperatures), it all burned off in a flash.

He didn't survive.

Fuel tanks are dangerous, Usual solution that I have seen involve 
filling them with water before doing anything with them.

In this case, it was a vessel which was emtpy and dry.

It was the oxygen which was the problem.

On a less somber note, Asimov wrote a detective story in which
the violent reaction of oxygen under pressure with just about
anything organic played an imporant role.  The bad guy tried
to murder the protagonist by smearing glycerol on an oxygen
container.  Asimov certainly knew his way around a lab, he
was a chemist, after all.

The dangerous bit in what I  was describing was a fuel tank that seemed
to be empty, but turned out to have enough fumes still inside to go
bang, An angle grinder (dunno if US has a different name) would be the
agent, or a welder.

	Yep that's the bad case. I know one person who, on deciding that
the motorbike tank with some fuel in it *must* be welded, very carefully
filled it to the brim with petrol, put the cap on and washed the outside of
the tank before welding it. His reasoning was that if he left no room for
fumes or air he should be safe, he lived to tell the tale (while showing me
the welded tank) so he probably wasn't totally crazed. You wouldn't see me
trying it though.

Nor I, again. I remember one day in the fifties waking up to the sound of
the Us air force flying to Britain over our place, I think it was the
Suez crises, and the family agreed to fil some plastic drums with petrol
and bury them in the garden in case of things going bad, naturally, it
took a while to  return to normal and by that time, the petrol was
polluted with water, so I threw the petrol  away and tried to use the
druns for something else. 

That was when I learned to dump such things.

That story played itself out locally a while back, when a crew finally
decided to break up a DC-8 that had been sitting abandoned at a nearby
airfield for a couple of years.  And yes, it was an angle grinder that
did the trick.

I do realize that a tanker carrying liquid oxygen can accelerate a
fire to large proportions. But I don't think I would call if an
explosion, more of a flash fire.

We were taught that in Navy recruit training, but I could be
misremembering.

	On nightmare scenario that keeps coming to me is someone connecting
a large oxygen cylinder to the gas main.

On a less calamitous note....

Neighborhood improvement scenario: Thuggish bullies are variously
harassing, robbing, assaulting etc.  you/neigbor{hood}/whoever.
Boozers, heavy smokers, general louts.  You fill a couple of party
balloons with oxygen/acetylene mixture and hang them from rearview
mirror in the thugs' car while they're off doing some mischief or
other.  On returning to the car, one expostulates, "What's with this
f***ing balloon sh*t?" and pops one with his cigarette.  Only
enculpating trace material left for forensic team is charred &
shrivelled balloon remnants amongst the beer cans, burger wrappers,
empty cigarette packs etc.

(Risk from static electricity while preparing this deterrent occurs to
me.)

Love it.  Reminds me of a scene from _The 100-Year-Old Man
Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared_ by Jonas Jonasson.
Delightful book.

Probably wouldn't pop so nicely.

If it's full of oxygen and acetylene it will pop just fine.

I always thought mylar balloons would be more pop-resistant than
rubber ones, but I could be wrong - I haven't tried it myself.  :-)

What part of "oxygen and acetylene" are you having trouble with?
