Propane is far more dangerous than LNG - its light weight means that

Isn't LNG [liquid natural gas] a natural mix of butane, propane and a
sprinkling of higher -anes?

Brian Whatcott Altus OK

It's primarily Methane (at least 90%) ..... may also contain some ethane
and propane.
LNG and it's vapors, supposedly cannot explode in an unconfined environment.
