One plus for hydrogen is that when it burns, the flame is not so
dangerous to be near (an explosion requires a mixture). This is because
the flame is not luminous, unlike a hydrocarbon flame which is, and

wanted to be near one of those Buncefield tanks.

Racing drivers ahve burnt to death because methanol burns with no flame.
