That's interesting; I wonder how it worked? I was always taught that the inside of a car (or any other large metal object) is a very safe place to be in a thunderstorm, since the electric current will pass through the outer surface of the car body and not through the passengers. Did it perhaps cause a spark in the tank which ignited the fuel or ammunition?
