really and your source is the only tank explosions ive heard about from any source were the pyrotechnic-rigged explosions the media used to prove their falsehoods. iow the design wasnt that dangerous. budd budd cochran wrote what did you expect of the liberal run media remember the gm saddle type fuel tank fiasco yeah bad design. some people got burned literally. .
