FYI this was caused by a russian air defence missile that decided the fuel tank was a drone.

If you assume that other oil tanks might act like that and that oil tanks are likely to continue to be hit, it might be worth setting up a high-res webcam aimed at one. In all honesty, it is a pretty wild bit of video, to see something like that lazily drifting through the air.

~~if that's a floating roof storage tank, then it's not something that should happen because there's very little air in headspace,~~ and if it's not, sometimes it's filled with nitrogen. several things have to go wrong for this to be possible

Ukraine was running the footage at the Paris weapon show. Russia got hammered and it was used as a sales demo. Putin didn't see that coming when he have the order for his special operations.
