In a large, complex building with multiple materials and fire pathways (a firefighter could probably produce a better term), the patterns of how a fire spreads will be logically be more complex. Reconstructing those "pathways" and patterns becomes even more difficult when the large building then collapses.
I sincerely hope there was nothing about these last few posts that violated any forum rules...  |
The problem with the term "thermobaric" is, that it is not clearly defined what is meant by it. Some call bombs that displace the surrounding air thermobaric, others call fuel-air boms thermobaric, others use that term interchangeably.
The idea of a thermobaric bomb is that it brings its fuel and oxidizer in one material. It spreads it by a first small initial explosion and ignites the material with a second larger one. These weapons are theory. At least the not fuel-air types. The US Army seems to have some bombs that you could call thermobaric. But no one would ever show one to you.
