Not-so-obscure reference to TWA flight 800. But I have no idea why someone would post that about this situation, though.

You should see the video of this thing. Towering flames, and firefighters say they can't even think of getting near it. It is massive.

Providence harbor, by the way, is in the middle of a major metro area.

Points of commonality:

TWA 800 -- July 17; this incident -- July 18
TWA 800 -- explosion; this incident -- explosion
TWA 800 -- plane; this incident -- ship
TWA 800 -- fuel tank concerns; this incident -- LNG tanker concerns

There's enough there to make the juxtaposition worthy of humor.
