I saw one too, guy on motorcycle broadsides a truck right in the saddle tank. Tank explodes and the dude is enveloped in flame.

That's weird, the picture after the fire was put out shows the saddle tank intact. It's hard to believe all that fire came from the bike.

Maybe the biker broke a fuel line coming from the tank?

The bike's tank ruptures, spraying fuel. A spark from steel on steel, or the truck's spark plug wire arcing, sets off atomized fuel.
Whoosh. The flame front is a fair way away from the saddle tank. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I like your story.
That fire is way under the truck. At first I thought that whatever the biker was carrying in his "lap" is what spilled and caught fire, but our view is too obstructed to be sure. |

Thanks for pointing out that YouTube trick, pause/<,> to advance/rewind frame-by-frame. That's gonna be handy.
I think that was one of those things I've 'become unaware of'.

It sure does look badass. But I am skeptical about the 180 mph top speed. Maybe it's a drag boat and cuts a hole in the water too fast to fall in. But I'd think that a v-hull, even a catamaran double v would be beat to shit and back at 180 mph over a stretch of water big enough to get going that fast. A hydrofoil? Ok. V-hull? and not steel strong enough to withstand being pounded by the wave? Carbon fiber is light, but not know for its toughness.
I'd be interested to hear more, or, hey, let's see it in action! eta: aha... http://jalopnik.com/5846470/buy-this...for-17-million

A Los Angeles-class sub at periscope depth. Pic taken from a P-3 Orion, perhaps fittingly, a sub-hunter.
Is it just me, or, does something appear to be...emanating out from the airplane's shadow?
