Original Toronto Star caption: Welding blast: The front end of this car was blown away late Friday and three men were badly burned when a welding torch touched off an explosion as they worked in the garage at an Oshawa home. Steve Noel; who narrowly escaped; said the car body was being welded when the gas line was cut.

      All's weld. Who is that masked man? Why it's Stephen Darling (unmasked at right), a welder at Monarch Welding. I like Toronto's atmosphere. People are nicer than anywhere else, he says
