Grabbed this off the net, here's the heater, the garage door ended up on the roof across the street.

Kenton made a calculation of the force of an expoding water heater in his video. I forget the numbers, but he calculated the foot-pounds of energy released when 30 gallons of water is exposed to atmospheric pressure. It approaches the power of a 16-inch gun on a USS Iowa class battleship, which produced a 7,500,000 foot-pounds of energy. That's why there's so much destruction.

Texas recently approved his Water Heater Course for CE units.

Stupidity. It took just as long to screw in that plug as it would to screw in an extension.
