This document gets even funnier the more I read. How about this lovely note from page 18,

A remote (downwind) ignition of a plume in the flammable portion of the vapor cloud would result in a relatively slow (subsonic) burn back to the spill pool.

How wonderful, the fire will spread somewhat slower than the speed of sound.

When an LNG leak, with a ten mile radius reaches a point of ignition, the flames will take more than 60 seconds to travel the ten miles back to the tanker.

Very controlled, very reassuring. Definitely something to be filed under "What were you thinking?"

What happens to the other cells on the LNG tanker when the flames reach the tanker sixty seconds later?

Do you have any idea what magnitude of disaster this report spells out if there were buildings or humans within ten or twenty miles of this leak? Everything vaporized!
