doubledolphins; is it really wise to drive around in cars with a tank full of flammable liquid, and explosions going on in the engine mere feet away?

For goodness sake, the fuel gas cyclinder of the hot air balloon was slightly closer to the balloon's flame than the small, unpressurized quanitities of hydrogen in the other balloons were, no?

People really need to get a clue and realise that hydrogen does not automatically equal terrible firey explosion.
