- The Buncefield fuel-depot explosion (2005) illustrates the pattern: pre-incident HAZOP-style reviews had considered tank overfill as a MORE-flow deviation but the schema's parameter list and node decomposition did not generate the vapour-cloud-formation-and-unconfined-explosion consequence at the severity that occurred, because that consequence class had not been included in the fuel-depot schema
This sourceRecords what the pre-incident hazard studies at the Hertfordshire Oil Storage Terminal did and did not enumerate, and that a vapour-cloud explosion of the observed severity was not a foreseen consequence of overfill. Establishes the incident's site, operator and date (Hertfordshire Oil Storage Terminal, 11 December 2005). Establishes the overfill sequence: the automatic tank gauge had stuck, the independent high-level switch did not operate, petrol overflowed from the tank vents, a large flammable vapour cloud spread across the site and ignited, devastating the depot.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
