A)Flash fire engulfing nearby ships✓
B)Inability to extinguish ignited structures

The risk of flash fire engulfing nearby ships increased because the siphōn projected highly flammable naphtha, resulting in extensive spread; therefore, flash fire around launch, rather than containment was the hazard, unlike internal explosions.
