A question for all the demolition folks.

I know this is speculative. But generally speaking, how hard would it be for a terrorist to ignite an H powered vehicle? How big a boom will one get?

Thanks in advance.

If you explode hydrogen, the only problem is that the force of the explosion will go only one way: straight up. And remember, hydrogen fuel cells is NOT liquid hydrogen, so if there is a fire it really won't last that long. Compare this against gasoline and natural gas--if it explodes it will explode in every direction with terrifying results.

Hydrogen as a fuel is no more dangerous than gasoline. It's just a stupid and wasteful idea to convert cars to hydrogen when we don't need to.

If we didn't have the EPA and a bunch of enviro-luddite agencies in government we would not have any energy problems.
