It doesn't sound like you have been listening either. In the event of a catastrophic failure, gasoline burns, it does not explode. The energy contained in the tank is released over a period of 15 to 20 minutes. The flywheel will try to dissipate it's energy over a span of milliseconds. -- Mob rule doesn't become any prettier, just because the mob start to call itself a government. It ain't charity if you are using someone else's money. Mark.Wilson@AtlantaGA.NCR.com
