"If it was methane, it'd be igniting in the flare, correct?"

*BOOM*

Responses:

the detonation is from under the ship, not at the flare - Reagen May 29, 12:30 5
- You have to admire the timing of the commentary, if nothing else. -- nm - znufrii, silly old man May 29, 12:33 1
  - The frame by frame analysis by the commentators from 10-15 minutes ago is fun -- nm - JD May 29, 12:44
- Maaaaybe. The camera view makes the flare stack look a lot closer than it is. The cloud may have taken some time to reach the stack - TWuG May 29, 12:32 2
  - It would be an *insane* engineering failure to have an active flare in proximity to a potential propellant leak. - Reagen May 29, 12:36 1
    - It can't be too far away and still serve to offload the methane from the ship. Methane gas to be burned off, it can't be vented. -- (edited) - TWuG May 29, 12:49
