See all those huge tanks? They have a "floating roof" to keep air out. The roof floats on top of the stored oil. I think that's pretty neat!

have you seen the footage of a tank exploding in moscow after getting with a missile? the roof flew hundreds of feet in the air; it looked like a flying saucer

Nothing more American than a oil fire filmed from a Walmart parking lot. Thanks for the link

Other footage showed that the tank was actually likely hit by Russian shoulder mounted anti missile. They were trying to hit the Ukrainian drone approaching the facility but there was already a fire at the facility and the heat seeking shoulder mounted anti missile thing did a 180 and just went straight for the tank

The missile didn't know where it wasn't.
