Sorry Ben, no "chemistry" took place. No cover up. No Government conspiracy. No crashed UFO's. No alien autopsy. None of that. :B
Just a plain old mechanical pressure explosion.
This is what happened right before the picture was taken. Or something just like this. There are a lot of things under pressure in a modern automobile. Even explosive devices. (Tough to be a fire fighter now days. My hat is off to you guys for doing a very dangerous job)
Have several hundred lbs of molten aluminum hanging around and add something full of pressure blowing up, and take the picture just at the right time, (more than likely a frame taken from a video)and you get the picture you posted.
Nothing more, nothing less. :)
