What load where they each designed to carry?  Were they built even 
remotely to the same specification?  Can you back that up?

Which would do what exactly?

Hydrogren is not particularly explosive.  And will not burn or explode 
without a ready source of oxygen.  It will however absorb heat from the 
explosion and probably weaken it a bit, but it will not explode.

Tims truck was not much further from the edge columns and had the 
advantage that his bomb was 4 times larger and probably better made (he 
wasn't stupid enough to add hydrogren to his)
