Agreed, especially considering a tank of liquid hydrogen is a major risk for a BLEVE, same with LPG vehicles. It strikes me as absurd that alternate fuel proposals will actually make our roads considerably more dangerous.

Instead of turning a vehicle crash into a wreckage with a potential for a fire, we'll be turning a crash into a wreckage with the potential for a massive explosion. Any passenger caught in a vehicle with a hydrogen fuel tank that BLEVE's is guaranteed to be dead, and so is anyone within yards of it. Our highways will potentially be more dangerous than a fire in a welding supply store.
