Wow, talk about jaw dropping stupidity:

Until last month, safety advocates’ chief worry was spills in derailments. After tanker cars blew up July 6 on a train in Quebec, investigators in Canada are considering whether the composition of the crude, which normally doesn’t explode, may have played a role in the accident that killed 47 people. The oil was from North Dakota’s Bakken shale

Now I'm no doctor, but having spent my entire career in the oil/gas industry, I can assure you that yes, in fact, crude oil does explode. If it didn't it wouldn't really be of much use to us.
