Why do fuel trucks and airplanes need to be grounded before pumping fuel?
Vehicles are grounded to prevent the buildup of static charges. If static charges were allowed to build up, they could cause a spark when discharged by connecting a hose or being touched by any grounded object. If that spark occurred within the correct fuel-air mixture, a fire would result that could lead to an explosion.

What are an anti-static wristband?
Anti-static wrist bands or anklets help ground a person and divert static electricity. This is useful when a person works in demolition. A spark can ignite plastic explosives, and the anti-static wrist bands greatly reduce the likelihood that static electricity would detonate the materials prematurely.
Why is sulphuric acid transported by tankers and not by train?
train contain to much static electricity due to its metallic body but trucks a truck discharges the static electricity to the earth, so if sulphuric acid is transported by train that would cause an explosion due the reaction of sulphuric acid and static electricity
Why is sulphuric acid transported in road tankers and not by trains?

Did the lava killed all the dinosaur?
No, millions of years ago, when the dinosaurs ruled this Earth; a meteorite hit the sea, causing a gigantic explosion to spread across the in less that 10.5 seconds. However, an explosion isn't made of lava. It's made of varies of gases. Think of it like a spark. BOOM. A little spark wouldn't get far, would it? I gigantic explosion would, though. I suggest you try making your question a bit clearer, using the right words. You asked: Did the lava killed all the dinosaur? It should be: Was it the lava that killed all the Dinosaurs?
