Terrorist attack or accident?

We had the PraxAir fire in St. Louis a few years ago, pretty much the
same thing. They had the whole fire on surveillance video. It started
with one Propylene (MAPP substitute) tank venting in the hot sun.
Apparently there were a batch of tanks with defective relief valves.
Once it got started, with all those bottles sitting in the hot summer
sun, it just took off.

even a SMALL supplier like the liquid air i use has enough flammable
tanks in its cage to blow its building and most of its block off the
map

the original reports i saw were NG but the pics Looked like they were
either roofing NG tanks or they were welding tanks and if they were
welding takns then the "first" firefigheters i'd send anywhere NEAR
the scene woudl be waterbombers and i doubt i'd even let them fly over
the site until the tanks were done sparking off
