In response to ""If it was methane, it'd be igniting in the flare, correct?"" by znufrii, silly old man

the detonation is from under the ship, not at the flare

there wouldn't have been a delay if it was something flammable venting.

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
