List of boiling liquid expanding vapor explosions


The following is a list of boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion accidents. It shows whether the accident occurred during dangerous goods transportation or at a fixed facility, the accident origin, the material involved, its amount, the number of fatalities, and whether a fireball developed.
Boiler explosions are not listed here, see List of boiler explosions. Note, however, that not all boiler explosions are BLEVEs, with some being fuel–air explosions arising in the boiler furnace.
Gas cylinders explosions are listed only where many canisters exploded in a single event.
