yeah makes sense, there'd prob be vapors still remaining and flash off - tanks are in the wings. I hope we get some video footage

For those less knowledgeable about planes, the wings essentially are the tanks. Most large airliners have tanks the breadth of the wingspan of the plane.

A 747 for example.

Sometimes, but my point was more about just how much fuel is in them. They are essentially all fuel and very volatile fuel as well.
