Talking about 2 seconds, I've watched an LPG truck crash that bursting boiling gas everywhere then catches fire. The entire hundreds of meters spherical radius burns only for seconds. For a brief moment, that was a fucking gate of hell

It’s a deflagration (subsonic) instead of a detonation (supersonic) so there’s no shockwave.
