Well, there is a section of couplings at the top of the tank. The section ends about 20 feet down and that is where the explosion takes place. The fuel is kerosene which isn't very volatile The detonation appears to occur at the coupler outside of the tank. The conflagration to spread in less than 1/30 of a second to about 20-30 feet of the side rocket tank. There shouldn't have been any fuel there period. I'm not sure how such a rapid conflagration is even possible (given youtube videos of hydrocarbons and liquid oxygen) unless they were dumping gallons of kerosene down the side of the tank. Kerosene and oxygen burns at 3600 K so the result was never in doubt on an aluminum tank, but it should have taken longer.

Not sure what your point is. We aren't the warmest it has been in 120,000 years. We aren't the warmest it has been in 10,000 years. We might not be the warmest in 1000 years. There shouldn't even be C4 plants, that is a sign the CO2 level is too low. No evidence that the CO2 responsible for 40% of plant growth and 40% of our food harmed anything. The "warmist" pseudo-science is so bad there are still people claiming Antarctica is melting. Even NASA gave up on that last year.

Anyone who has set up a LINUX mail server or proxy server or firewall knows:
1. ALL MAIL IS FILTERED. The mail server has multiple configuration files to determine what mail to capture, what mail to relay, etc. The from/to addresses of mail are always read and filtered when it passes through a mail server/relay.
2. Some mail is always blocked (mail from your mail server domain that originated elsewhere).
3. Mail without a legitimate return address should be blocked.
There haven't been any legitimate open mail relays in almost 10 years. SPAM fixed that.
