1-Believe it or not that was probably actually one of the safer outcomes of it. If it's on fire it won't explode.
2-Each one of those tankers holds ~10,000 gallon. Each gallon of liquid expands out to 272X its original volume. So that's 2.72 million gallons of vapor at atmospheric pressures
3-If the truck didn't roll on to a fire hydrant or something I'm surprised the tank punctured. The place I worked at had a delivery truck (~2000 gallons) roll and it didn't even do more than put a scratch on the tank.
4-That's a fuck ton of liquid. The place I was working at had 3 blocks evacuated for venting about 200 gallon of liquid. It made the papers and everything.
