- We shot this amazing scene from our news chopper. A tanker carrying 5600 gallons of jet fuel collided with a Jeep. The tanker ignited, causing a huge fire for several hours. All lanes of highway 114 were closed for several hours, and crews from DFW Airport were brought in because of the jet fuel. No major injuries.

The pilot did a great job at keeping things steady for whoever shot this video. Good job to both of you.
We were over the fire for a couple hours doing 'live' reports. It started about 20 minutes before we got there, and was burning when we left. Can't give you an exact duration... all I know is, it burned longer than we had fuel for the chopper
I imagine that tank was pretty darn full.
This is some amazing footage. It's great there were no major injuries.
Perfect filming! Great footage!
This reminds me of a similar fire on the H-1 Freeway in Honolulu, Hawaii in the late 1970s. Except that time, the burning fuel ran down into the storm drains and caused fires in other places where the drains were out in the open.
this was kind of relaxing to watch and listen to. Hope no one was injured.
That is one of the most amazing footage I've ever seen here on TH-cam.
I'd be highly interested to know about the camera/rendering/uploading used for this video..
If you'd be so kind to share.
Great catch!
Fantastic footage,
The drivers of both vehicles escaped with minor injuries.
Must be crash peterblit truck tanker
Thank goodness!
If you throw a match in a bucket of diesel, you will get the same result. You CAN ignite low volatile fuels. The catalyst is just to make it easier. If a vehicle collides with a tanker and catches fire, that's all the catalyst you need. If you are too obtuse to understand that, I can't help you.
...and the dubbed in helicopter sound lends so much more authenticity to the footage.
Terrifying video. We should just be thankful that there weren’t any fatalities in this tanker fire.
Damn... The tanker is legitamately MELTING.
Awesome footage
It's a good thing that this accident after the fire was not in a city but in the motorway where there are not buildings and houses near the fire
Thank God no one was killed that's what really matters trucks and cargo can be replaced but lives cannot
If you're worried about a small truck burning you better wake up... there is a lot of burns bigger than this one!
can you tell me exactly how long the fire burned? my estimate of 5600 gallons came to 4 hours is that right?
nice shot bro very clear...nice....
Nice sound effects.

so, did the truck from DFW airport use the hyex foam to put out the fire ?
Was this the 2nd fire at that location, or did this wreck burn all that grass?
LOL! Did that crash truck ever arrive on scene? Kinda hard to miss the location. To the chopper crew...Nice catch! Thanks for posting.
The only reason to just stand back and watch it burn is because if get to close never know when it might blow cause it's gotten already to hot to put out. And you can't just put out jet fuel out with water and usually regular firetrucks don't carry as much foam to use on it as much as the airport fire engines do cause there made for that type of job. Also it takes special suites for to put out jet fuel cause it burns a lot hotter than regular gasoline and most stations don't carry those like th
I'm gutted I was hoping to see that yellow airport type of truck in action.
Fuel in tanks only explode if they build up pressure faster than it can be released. Tanker have relief valves that will vent the pressure. But most tanker truck with flammable liquids are made from aluminum, so the tops will melt because there is no liquid fuel there to absorb the heat. This results in an open container of burning fuel, like a bucket of gasoline. The fuel will just burn off melting the sides as it's consumed. Tankers with propane will explode because those are steel.
It is a Cineflex mounted, gyro stabilized Ikegami 1080i 44X camera... actually a pretty small lens comapared to other aerial cameras. The reason for that is because they are mounted on an R44 helicopter, and need to keep the weight down. It was uploaded in Final Cut Pro and edited through that system. No video filters were used, so what you see is what was shot. I generally compressed the video to Quick Time Mpeg 4 for use on youtube.
That camera shoots video quality comparable to video quality shot by today's cameras
Nice place to have this event. Can you imagine this event happening downtown "anywhere?"
The Peterbilt. s front bumber is fine, the Jeeps hood is crunched up, Jeep rearended the tanker?
That was a nice Peterbilt.
Peterbilt is poor quality, horrible customer service, and will never be what they once were. These peterbilt guys are just buying a name and trying to compensate for their inability to properly get an erection.
There was no use in trying to put that out. You can see how hot this fire 🔥 got. I hope the driver got out and is ok.
Best video I have ever seen shot from a helicopter.
Optimus died..
The tanker was probably heading to the DFW airport
i'll bet that wrangler had something to do with why it crashed...
were they able to restore the tanker?
Very hot truck
est-ce que vous pouvez me dire pourquoi le carburant répandue ne s'est pas enflamée?
kaboom happens more often when a tanker is empty.
the fumes mixed with air are way more explosive than a large mass of liquid.
some petroleum-based fuels are designed to be that way
Boost game hacked rip campy basb fanatic faked
The fire was so bad they got airport fire trucks
hope everything is fine
Such a shame that that the ICON aka Peterbilt 379 had to burn down with the tank.. And the Jeep didnt. Bleedin 4 wheelers.
DieselHeart BR218 poor peterbilt it didn't deserve that torture
Dad had that same truck in baby blue, used to be a old school werner truck lol. Use to go with him every summer when school was out, be gone the whole summer with him usually.
The big car have writen on it FIRE RESCUE but I dont believe they want to RESCUE the fire.
thymark
lolz, isn't final cut pro mac-only? you don't do this for a living , do you?
Did the drive make it out?
full video ?
0:00
From that angle, it almost looks like Chernobyl.
Very true
凄いですね👍
Give tankers extra space. They are high risk of fire! They also take longer to stop.
If I ever become a trucker theres no way I'm hauling fuel.
Rather haul fuel than livestock.
So furious.
man that hurts.... I used to haul jet fuel....
rip Peterbilt 379
Why was it recommended to me on 2021
I hauled gas for 33 years.This is your worst nightmare. I hope that driver got out.
You can actually buy them used for about 20K (for a OLD one) or more depending on how old it is. New, about a million will get you one.
Wait...you're telling me that gasoline is flammable?
Damn. Now I have to redesign my smokers' pond...
super
1080i but youtube only goes up to 720P....
like hell it would, even if you had a bucket full of JP-7, lit a match and threw the match into the bucket, it would put the match out, it's a very low VOLATILITY . It needs a catalyist called triethylborane which is used in `start-carts' to `start up' the sr71blackbird aircraft's 2 P&W JT-58 continously bled afterburning turbojets, that is why it is NOT like the other fuels. It also serves as the aircraft's coolant along with the aircraft's center of gravity.
damn
now the gas prices will rise[my precious gas]
Anyone know where we can get one of those..........fire engine things?
🙏
Guys that's my house!!! (The truck)
Also, why didn't it explode? Was it oil, crude oil, gasoline, or diesel?
Is that black stuff all over the ground the jet fuel or is it tar or something?
Coooooolllll!!!!!!!!!!
HQ baby
They add blade sound
Some turtle wax applied, it will buff right out like new!
wow

Jet A IS a flammable liquid. The UN number is 1863, and placarded as a flammable liquid. BTW, I am certified as a Hazardous Materials Technician.
jet fuel is kerosene so kerosene burns so slowly
Robin Tammik the nist reports that the fuel was the ignition source primary being gone in 10 minutes
Sorry, jet fuel is not kerosene, jet fuel is more explosive than kerosene
jet b is naptha
yet the fire missed the gas tank under the cab
Маленький огонь . Как жаль
That's what I call hot wheels
Not cool
It's probably grass and/ or crops that got lit up from the spill
I am aware of all that. There is no legal justification for the flammable designation.
The quotes I posted are from the FAA and the Army Corp of Engineers
From Jet A's material safety data sheet.
OSHA/NFPA FLAMMABILITY CLASS: 2 (COMBUSTIBLE) (see Section 14 for transportation classification)
Section 14 TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION
May be reclassified for transportation as a COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID under conditions of DOT 49 CFR
173.120(b)(2).
Internationally flammable, domestically combustible.
Enough to melt a a thin layer of steel. Not a whole building. Nor 3 at once in fact.
Já era caminhão
It turns out Jet A fuel is classified as nonflammable.
DOT Requirements for Transporting Fuels in Tanks
Quote:
Current 49 CFR 173.120(b) language generally defines combustible liquids as materials with a
FP > 141F and < 200F
.
A Review of the Flammability
Hazard of Jet A
Quote:
Jet A and A-1 flash points are currently specified to be a minimum of 100°F. This limit was set in 1975, when it was reduced from 105°F in order to conform to commodity classifications of “nonflammable” liquids.
It is Kerosene. It is not as volatile as gasoline, but believe me, it will burn
lástima el peterbilt
Thank God the driver got out
this is aluminum not steel different temperatures apply
I believe that it's time that you got re-certified, especially in the area of JP-7 fuel. UN huh ? that just goes to show how much they know about the U.S. military.
If JP-7 didn't burn, it wouldn't be Jet Fuel. And yes, it would've burned if it was carrying JP-7. JP-7 is safer, but it WILL still burn.
um baita prejuízo
Good thing the Fire department got there just in time to do nothing.
What would you like them to do?! The truck is destroyed, nobody's lives were in danger, and the fuel was burning itself out instead of seaping into the ground and creating an environmental problem! And you want them to risk their lives for what reason?! This is real life, dude, not Hollywierd!
and the smoke and fumes didn't cause a problem with the environment? Wrong!
Ah yes, risk getting it blown up in their faces
the tank didn't melt? Oh! Imagine that

No,No, I did,nt mean I wished to buy one,I was making a TIC comment, as it seemed a long time getting a fire appliance to the burning tanker.Luckey it was out in the countryside.
What?!
Hm.....
where's the driver,,?
Well, if the tanker was carrying JP-7, that fire would not have happened.
Serious accident 🔥
It was obviously full of diesel
Why didn't it explode? It was jet fuel after all.
want to see the airport fire truck spreading this fireball...
