I like how the article ends in describing the size of the flames while also specifically saying "DO NOT GO OUT TO LOOK AT THE FIRE".

Truckers ain't got time for explosions. "On the road again..."
DesertLeporid
"wtf are you talking about! I got deadlines to meet!" - Trucker, probably.
SpoilsburyToastMan
Not in a position or trained to help, and would put themselves and their cargo at risk if they stop. Keep on trucking.

Am trucker, can confirm this. Catastrophic 100 car pile up? That's too bad, I'll take county road 6 instead. Got a 4am delivery to make.
QueefBurglarSixtyNine
One time I was driving through white-out snow in CO. The truckers saw this as an opportunity to speed up. Poop was coming out of me.
biblioteker
I hit whiteout conditions in PA, slowed down and stopped on the shoulder. Idiots were speeding up, collisions ensued.

Safest thing you can do is get the hell out of there. This isn't a movie. You don't have plot armor

Makes me think of that explosion in china where people went to check out the initial one and then a bigger one occured

I was joking lol but it does make it funnier they’re actually there

Can anyone science me on why that fireball just floated into the sky like that?
TheFeralDog
Petroleum gas in a pressurized train car.

Northernwest
When it explodes it throw the material in the tank out. Burns as it goes up in the air. This was likely an LPG tanks which is a gas.
Rawilla's link on BLEVE's will explain why they explode. Then go watch some BLEVE vidoes. Big booms!
ScubaSteve6933
Is this also why there was no loud boom? This looked like something that should’ve made a lot of noise? (based on zero boom knowledge)
Didn't think of the boom. May have been a release and not a BLEVE.
OdinYggd
LPG in a tank is liquid under pressure. But it becomes gas when the pressure is released.
Yes, lots of energy waiting to erupt if things go wrong

My guess is that there is a kid in the car
AquaHair
Christians who think swearing is the worst thing ever speak this way regardless.
True but I've met a lot more people who dont swear around kids than people who dont swear at all.
Which really makes no sense cuz in the real world there are people like me, adults, who say what they want.

Nah, fuck that for once we have a video where someone doesn’t run and switch angles 30times like they’re off-roading on a mountain.
PleaseRespectMyAsshole
That is exactly what I was thinking! "There's like a 200 foot fireball in front of you! What in the fuck are you filming?!"
Stuffsalotamuff
I thought of that too and could only come to the conclusion that they possibly realized, for a split second they could be 1/2
Filming the deaths of many people. But most likely they were just kinda in shock of what they were seeing. 2/2
You see and feel this right in front of you and try to stay calm and focused..... this isn't a Hollywood movie.
Housemaster
*IMGUR DEMANDS STEADY, WELL FRAMED AND FOCUSED SHOTS. EVEN WHEN FACED WITH EXPLOSIONS YOU MUST NOT FALTER!*
You're right, how dare I make fun of a guy for filming smoke. This is a very serious website where we aren't permitted to criticize people
Yikes! I was making a joke, didn't mean to offend you buddy
