Myth
Buster be d____d, I know from personal experience that a loose, almost
full cylinder with the valve knocked off did go through a double brick
wall. In 1939 when it happened, the cylinder was on the second
floor and it continued its approximately horizontal flight for a few
feet, hitting the ground in the parking lot below the hole it had made
in the wall.
Fortunately, no one was injured in the
incident.
