You can't really compare the Hindenburg with the "rescue Le Car"

I would presume that it would not be storing its fuel in rubberized canvas bladders at one atmosphere.

I doubt that the car would release any of its oxygen or hydrogen unles it was crushed or shot.

Imagine the fireworks if someone were to "compromise" the tanks! The Hidenburg didn't carry around pure Oxygen. The Hindenburg just burned with the atmospheric oxygen which is about %23 I think.

If you had a balloon filled with a perfect mix of Oxygen and Hydrogen and that was ignighted, it would explode rather than just burn very quickly.
