- mcpherrinm 11y agoLNG quickly becomes a gas when leaked -- you won't see dramatic environmental disasters like with crude oil. It's also not flammable or explosive in its liquid form, so I suspect you won't see a dramatic explosive failure either. Of course, it could start leaking and burn when mixed with enough air, but I can't help but wonder how sustainable a fire that would be: The air/fuel mix would not be controlled at all, and would probably quickly burn and stop.
- MaysonL 11y agoTry googling "lng explosion". It is cold, so is denser than air and spreads out on the surface, and when ignited goes off with a big bang.
