There's a lot missing in this story and, as usual, a bit of sensationalism. It takes a huge amount of heat to make an O2 tank explode so, despite what the article said, the house fire is probably what made the tank explode not the fact that the man was smoking while on O2. The smoking while on O2 is probably what started the fire, though, in the first place. Might have dropped some ashes on his clothes or the furniture he was on which started the fire.
