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".

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.

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.

5 years ago | Likes 31 Dislikes 0

I hit whiteout conditions in PA, slowed down and stopped on the shoulder. Idiots were speeding up, collisions ensued.

Petroleum gas in a pressurized train car.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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!

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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)

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Didn't think of the boom. May have been a release and not a BLEVE.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

LPG in a tank is liquid under pressure. But it becomes gas when the pressure is released.

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
