speculation about cut gas pipes

[fixitflav]

This incident is now a police inquiry. The gas pipe was cut inside a property. ... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-57232373

Interesting that the cut pipe was in a neighbouring property.

that's interesting... so hypothetically say you cut into the mains gas pipe in your house and gas starts escaping - then you immediately ignite it with a match.
Is all that's gonna happen is that it will be like a giant blow torch? (a bit like a flame thrower)

All thats going to happen?

Isnt that "enough"?

Dont worry if not - Im sure there would be lots more happenings happening up not long after youd fired up a giant blowtorch in your house
