Flame trenches had nothing to do with risk to bystanders. The keep out area is designed for a full fuel explosion right on the pad.

- jrflowers 3y agoExactly. When you read about “shrapnel” hitting a “van” it is important to note that the van was not considered to be a bystander and therefore there is no risk to bystanders.
- philwelch 3y agoIIRC the van had a camera mounted on it and was in the exclusion zone where no actual human beings were allowed during the launch. In other words someone deliberately risked their property to get a good camera angle.
