The EV fact thread

Looks like this was a gas (LPG) leak. TBH I'm surprised there haven't been more accidents with this in the 80+ years it's been used as an automotive fuel.

Yep looks like it, no doubt made a lot worse by the petrol/diesel. But think the main point is, it wasn't an EV.

Will be interesting to see if petrol/diesel tanks (which 99.9% of the time are buried below ground) were involved. Amazing that there were no immediate fatalities given that the emergency services were already there

Reports say emergency services were already at the scene in the Prenestino neighbourhood on Friday after a tanker truck hit a pipe while manoeuvring, causing a gas leak and smaller initial blast at around 08:00 local time (07:00 BST).

Shortly afterwards, a second, larger explosion rocked the area after a fire broke out.

 
Could the second explosion, not have been the fuel tanks. Although like you say they are well buried. Who knows. :dk:
