- harperlee 2y agoHonest question, did they sink the remaining fuel? Or did they just burnt all remaining fuel whilst hovering? I would imagine that's pretty toxic. Edit: Thanks for the answers!
- ralfd 2y agoPropellant is not kerosine, it is only liquid gas: oxygen and methane
- cschmatzler 2y agoMethane and oxygen are not very toxic.
- dotnet00 2y agoDepends on how packed the room is ;)
- trollied 2y agoLiquid Oxygen & Methane, and not much of it.
- jstsch 2y agoIt's methane, so not a big deal (like hydrazine)
- bzzzt 2y agoThere was not much remaining, but it's just methane so not that toxic.
