Pure hydrogen doesn’t explode. It’s only if you mix it with oxygen. The Hindenberg glowed red not blue

Good thing there’s no oxygen around then. Petrol doesn’t burn without oxygen either, but it’s still dangerous. Additionally typical fuel cell hydrogen cars, store the hydrogen in tanks up to 10,000 psi, which is where the explosion part happens.

Agreed. Petrol cars are also explodey. As are EVs. In fact most energy dense objects are explodey.

The issue with the 10000 psi tanks are the size and weight. Not the explodeyness.
