This is an inherent problem when you are using very low viscosity (=leaky) gas like hydrogen, that tends to embrittle metals, and under several hundred atm of pressure. No-one was injured because the crew was standing in safe distance during the fueling - they knew it was hazardous... Which is good news, but it shows you the technology is not mature. Obviously they are inspecting other trucks now, to make sure the problem does not repeat itself.milkshakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08188961610554710616noreply@blogger.com
