Then they are reporting mistakenly. Propane tanks don't explode. It is chemically impossible.
Propane gas can explode -- from a leak, but you just cannot cause a 170,000 lb tank to explode.

I am curious as to why you believe it is "chemically" impossible for a propane tank to explode? There are many documented cases of propane, and other compressed flammable gases, that have been heated in a fire to a point where the vapor pressure inside the vessel becomes excessive and causes a rapid, mechanical, and violent "explosion" of ONLY the tank itself. THEN the subsequent release of of large volumes of flammable gas ignites causing the fireball.
Could you give me some more information on your theory please?
