what is the toxicity of the partialy burnt smoke and byproducts? how BIG an explosion and fire? which fucking way will the wind be blowing when it pops? *please dont do disaster management unless you can run ALL the failure modes, and know you are missing something.

It’s been nearly a day - experts on disaster management for this kind of thing should be onsite now.

If they’re not, something’s failed and it ain’t the tank.

thinking about this a tiny bit more.... they dont have a way to just pump this stuff some where else, there may be no reverse functionality at all, just a linear assembly line, or that would have happened right away. and the tank could be ready to fail completly, making anyone right there, dead when it does. somebody is saying to drop a bomb on it and be done with it and that, is getting bumped, higher, and higher, and higher and the whole thing has to be explained, again, and again, and again
