Slough bin men narrowly avoid flying gas bottle

CCTV footage has been released capturing the moment a gas canister exploded and nearly hit two refuse workers.

Slough Borough Council said it had been wrongly left in a waste bin for collection.

The two workers - Tom and Ray - said they did not see the canister fly out, but Tom ducked when Ray shouted.

The BBC's Joe Campbell has been speaking to the pair.

You can see the footage on the BBC News website.
