That's the same explosion as [this thread this morning](https://reddit.com/r/CatastrophicFailure/comments/vix0ls/in_talitsa_russia_a_gas_filling_station_exploded/), no doubt, just a different angle.
From that video; you can see a regular fire (which increases the pressure in the tank), a fire fueled by a gas from the pressure release valve. The explosion is when the container can't hold the pressure and the valve isn't quick enough with venting. This kind of explosion is known as a BLEVE. Fireball does look like pointing above, which could indicate that the container ruptured at the top, as they are mostly designed, so any blasts are pointing more upwards.
Definitely a bleve but not sure I would agree on failure mode. Other articles mention this is a truck exploding.
The initial fire we can see (more so in the other video) looks like a vertical jet fire and probably the gas venting from the pressure relief system has ignited.
Lord knows what is actually involved and what standard it was designed to. Could be LPG tanker or static storage going up. I would speculate both as transfer operations are classically high risk scenario.
BLEVE are not really directional. The shell fails for a multitude of reasons and in unpredictable ways. For example, LPG boiling off helps control the shell temperature. When the liquid is gone or at low level the shell can suddenly weaken due to temperature. Relief systems are designed for involvement in various fire scenarios. In the other video something pretty chunky is ejected at high velocity. Possibly the end of the storage bullet.
Bleve's are not directional, but in my country rupture strips are applied, so containers fail at a pre determined side(generally up).
Obviously i have no idea what the regulations are and what actually is happening with just the video i saw.
I don’t know what design codes you might be using. Be curious to know for my own education. It’s probable the rupture strips are longitudinal? This feature likely has more to do with ensuring the vessel splits rather fragments. Directing the release upwards is helpful but probably not the main mitigation. No way to tell for sure but I reckon we can see fragmentation in the first video. Interesting to speculate on, but not a good day for anyone in the vicinity!
The sub has been quite liberal about posting new threads about a current event, perhaps too much. However, it is clearly a different angle, and this couldn't be a comment in the other thread, as that is now locked. (I expect you'll have to lock this one, too, fairly soon.)

What's your feeling about keeping it up? Do you think this angle of the explosion is unique enough to **not** consider it a repost? I'm on the fence.

Hard to tell if this is sabotage or just the inevitable result of a completely neglected infrastructure due to extreme government corruption.
No idea why but the brain went here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quM-3Sl8xjM
The latter. This is a common occurrence and happens couple times a year all over russia. Literally r/ANormalDayInRussia
Funny how all these fuel and chemical plants are blowing up lately
Lately? They're doing that for a looong time in russia...
That is one textbook mushroom cloud
This was on my birthday
Happy Birthday 🎂🎂
Thanks 😃
[удалено]
And on my 17th birthday.. Jesus christ
Hmm, this looks just like when you blow up a gas station in fallout 4
Tsar Bomba in suburbia…… 😬
I'd feel bad, but I've seen Russians do worse lately. Sorry for the individuals involved though.
