formeranony (08/12/2014) [-] I find it suspicious she was video taping a random gas station at the exact moment of it's destruction, or did i miss something in the beginning that would lead up to an explosion?

I don't know what the russian standards for gas storage and pumps are, but I know that any gas station I've worked at a fire would never reach the main tank unless something blasted a hole through the concrete covering it. The pumps I've worked with have a slew of failsafes that activate in the presence of physical damage and heat. And they use multistage pumping systems so there is never a single unbroken stream of gas from the pump to the reservoir.
That being said, it's still terrifying to think. I know of a gas station that does almost (if not more than) 15,000 gallons a day in sales, they get deliveries twice a day and their underground storage is absolutely massive, if they went up they'd probably wipe out the entire south end of the town (the ****** side so I have mixed opinions about it actually happening).
That and most high volume gas stations in my state are equipped with foam fire suppressants; if a fire breaks out they cover every inch of the pumping area and tank area with a thick fire retardant foam.

At the very start it looks like there is smoke coming from behind the building, so something was already up before Michael Bay got involved.
