Some of you may have heard that David Leslie and Richard Lloyd who were big names in british motorsport were killed this week.

Here's a cheesy tribute to them showing scenes after their jet crashed into someone's bedroom.

I loving hate St. Louis drivers and will be so happy in a year when we leave.

I'm also totally ashamed of the state HP's not responding to this, or at least loving county. City of STL cops not responding on vehicular calls is mandated in the first paragraph of their charter I think.

I was sitting, watching the video, trying to figure out how you'd tell if he was using a lighter or not... Then to see him reach into his pocket, you immediately know what's going to happen next. I'm just surprised that it didn't do more damage.

It too would like to know more. How did the truck, and the underground tanks not explode instantly killing everything within 100 yards of the truck? or did they?

It boggles the mind how someone could do something so stupid, or is this standard procedure and I'm just uninformed?

Muscular hydrostats get me all hard



Lack of air inside the tank for it to explode, and addition to that I'd imagine there would be some sort of safety system to prevent such a thing. It looked like the top part of the tank on the semi was all that lit. Some sort of pump system? I don't think you can just unscrew the top and look inside the whole tank.

More like lack of fuel. Liquid fuel doesn't burn, only the vapor. The reason it keeps burning is that the heat of the fire continues converts the liquid fuel into a gas.

Fuel tanks only explode if the fuel inside is almost instantly turned into a vapor. As far as accidents go, this only happens in the case of a BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion).

A BLEVE occurs when a fuel tanks is put under intense heat from a fire for an extended period of time, until the expanding fuel inside creates too much pressure and causes the tank to rupture, allowing a fast escape of vaporized fuel which flies out in every direction like the air from a popped balloon. Then, the fire burns through this atomized fuel which is loving everywhere at that point.

Oh yeah, it's difficult to create a BLEVE when the fuel tank is already open, since that pressure has a place to escape.

Here's video of a BLEVE. You can see the vaporized fuel expanding before it burns.

That's Anthony Pizzonia (former test driver for Jaguar and then BMW-Sauber, I think?) and some editor for Autocar magazine, which would make Break's description (which are always loving terrible and wrong) backwards.
