Wow!  One single spark and it would have been instant inferno. How amazing it didn’t ignite.

It must have been such a rich mixture that the impact couldn't sustain combustion, you'd expect a few sparks from that impact Tankers like this should, in sensible countries anyway, not use a negative earth and have a sealed electrical system, but yes, amazing the vapour cloud didnt find an ignition source |
