It was not a nuclear explosion, that would be insane. Pure hydrogen is highly explosive, which is why it’s suitable for a combustion vehicle like the Mirai.
At first I thought it was NCD memery, e.g. “Ukrainian soldiers cobble together a nuke from a car they find lying around” so imagine my surprise when I see it’s a real headline. Even though “hydrogen bomb” is technically correct, it certainly made me do a double take. I wonder if that choice of words was intentional.

Mirai isn’t a combustion vehicle, it has a fuel cell that generates electricity via a chemical reaction.
That is true in the case of the mirai, but hydrogen can also be used in combustion engines, though at a much lower efficiency.

First, I didn’t see that it was coming from NCD, and I thought it was a real news. I was really confused.
Then, I realized how much of a fool I was when I saw it was from NCD.
But then I saw it was actually in the URL of the linked article and I was CONFUSED AGAIN.
