No this is Hollywood making you think that. Car crashes and small plane crashes result in metal debris, not exploding balls of fire like Hollywood likes to depict.

In general the concept of starting a fire and a crashing small plane are orthogonal concepts. What happened with that plane is not arson at all.

You seem pretty hung up on this "exploding balls of fire" thing while ignoring that he's crashing a gas-powered vehicle, likely rupturing its fuel tanks and supply lines in close proximity to hot exhaust metal.

You don't need "exploding balls of fire" to create a disaster.

I'm hung up on it because it's true.

When's the last time you seen a car light up on fire during an accident? Never because the chances of it happening are basically negligible.

Early March, I think? Sometime this year, anyway.

Cars don't have wings full of fuel and are built to crash, not built for minimal weight

Ok, but you get my point. It's rare. Most people haven't seen this ever.

The actual data says that post crash fires are rare.
