TL;DR: The explosion of a liquefied natural gas tanker is a boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE) as discussed by the authors , which typically burns up the fuel source, causing a large fireball.
Abstract: The explosion of a liquefied natural gas tanker is a boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE). Once a BLEVE occurs, the resulting explosion typically burns up the fuel source, causing a large fireball. A significant number of accidents occur during transportation. Casualties with burns and/or explosion injuries will necessitate field triage, treatment, and transport to the hospital.
