Explosiveness of Bakken Crude

You misspelled expulsiveness in the thread title. I don't see anything in the article that compares Bakken crude with any other crude, and it doesn't even say if the crude oil that burned, or even if it exploded, just that "residents reported hearing and feeling an explosion" was Bakken.

And the article doesn't mention railroads.

 

 

The correct word is "explosiveness"  from explode.  "Expulsiveness" from expel is usually used in conjunction with anal, as in anal expulsiveness.   I doubt if you meant the latter.

 

If residents heard and felt an explosion, doesn't that count?

While the ND crude interests have repeatedly stated that Bakken crude is no more explosive than other crudes .....
