Great point, I cant think of an aiport at least in Western Canada where this is a fuel depot at the end of the runway, suburbs maybe but no fueld depot - YEG, YYC, YXE, YQR, YLW etc.
Not enough details are known but I am guessing the plane likely veered off the str8 path of the runway to hit the depot - very strange in deed. Or it is just classic news reporting about airlines, there wouldnt have been alot of fuel left but enough (500L+) for a good explosion.
Very tragic. TAM was one of the airlines in SA that wasnt actually doing not that bad. Wouldnt be surprised to see them go under or bought up in the next 6-18 months.
