Spider-Man outruns explosion

Feat can be seen here. Spider-Man briefly outruns an explosion after an oil tanker drives into a "high voltage" box/generator thing.

Assuming it's crude oil, which is 46.3 megajoules/kg according to Wikipedia. TNT is 4.6 megajoules/kg.

According to this, which is the source used for our explosive calculator:

M = e/E*m

M = TNT Equivalent Mass (kg)

e = Specific Detonation Energy of Explosive (J/kg)

E = Specific Detonation Energy of TNT (4 600 000 J/kg)

m = Mass of explosive (kg)

Assuming there's 10 kg of oil or stuff, that's a low-ball, a truck can have a lot more.

46300000/4600000*10 = 100.65 kg of TNT equivalent

Using DontTalkDT's explosion speed calculator:

Spider-Man seems around 10 metres from origin of explosion. Degree of derivation is 0 radians.

363 m/s, a little less than Mach 1.07, Transonic

This is still a low-ball, there should be a lot more than 10 kg of explosive in the truck.

Edit: Here is an updated link to the scene in question.
