The Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle has hardly been an international sales success, thanks to poor hydrogen infrastructure, expense, and polarizing design, but it proved successful to Ukrainian forces which scavenged parts from the hydrogen car to create the world’s smallest hydroge...

Hydrogen bomb, that's irresponsible journalism really.

- I had a genuine momentary freak out.

- Second sentence in the article clarifies that it wasn't a thermonuclear device.

  still shitty journalism, it's clickbait bullshit

  400lbs explosive is less than standard 500lbs bomb. The title makes it clear tbh

- fuel air bomb would be the most accurate description.

- It's also not a fuel cell, it's the tank

- I mean, it's a bomb fueled by the hydrogen fuel cell in the vehicle. Not sure what else you would call it when trying to differentiate it from something a traditional car or one made from a truck filled with ammonium nitrate.

  It's journalistic malpractice to not call it something that would differentiate it from a nuke. Simply calling it "a hydrogen cell bomb" or "a bomb fueled by hydrogen" would still be just as accurate and not imply it's a nuke.

  no one says hydrogen bomb referring to conventional arms. it's not a thing.

- So, a more energetic miniature Hindenburg?

  in so far as the fuel in this burned all at once, instead of slowly over time like hindy. if the hindenburg had exploded all at once, it would be like this.

  not really, as the fuel cell would have been pressurized

Well at least somebody found a use for a Mirai. Props to the Ukrainian military for an explosion in their creativity.

- They probably only took out the tank so the rest is still scrap.

  now any Mirari on the side of the road is a potential explosive to be aware of.
  
  Oh wait... there are none.

And here I was only able to turn my Ford Fiesta into a standard nuclear bomb.

  And that looks like just one tank, the vehicle has more than one.
