ROFLMAO!

Every time hydrogen comes up, I think "that sounds interesting, and makes me think of the Hindenburg." I can't imagine that they have figured out how to make it safe.

I've seen several car fires (probably ~10). Only once was one accompanied by an explosion. That one came after the car had been burning for quite a while (at least 5-10 mins, maybe 15), and was much smaller than anything in a movie. Every car fire that I've ever seen has been relatively slow to consume/engulf the car.

I think we've seen enough electric car fires to know that they are pretty darn fast and I don't want to be anywhere near one.

I've never seen or heard of a hydrogen fire (other than the Hindenburg), but I'm guessing they could be pretty ugly pretty quickly.
