For those wondering, it was a plant in Norway that was preventable :

The company has previously said it took responsibility for the incident, which it said was caused by an assembly error of a specific plug in a hydrogen tank in a high-pressure storage unit.

Yes, it can explode.just like natural gas/petrol stations/chemistry plants. Never refuted that. But hydrogen at least burns up, unlike oil spills,

And disperses since hydrogen floats upwards unlike the forever burning hole

> would it be any more dangerous than a regular engine fire?

Not exactly what you were asking for, but it was already tested long ago : Difference between a hydrogen and a petrol car on fire

I forgot which YouTube video talked about the bad perception of the Hindenburg disaster. People saw it in flames, as one of the first video news stories. But what they didn't see is that it burned out very quickly.

Mate that would be soooo much more leg space than currently. No way flight ceo's will allow for lowering profits

What a gotcha moment....

The creature you're describing doesn't exist. If you're talking about a human that has no working sensory inputs ,its brain would still be wired in the same way as if they do work. Hence it would indeed have conscious thoughts.
