Don't underestimate reporters. They were stupid enough to put
explosives in a Chevy pickup and blow it up claiming it was a defective
fuel tank design.


That was fraud, not stupidity. They used Estes model rocket engines
IIRC and it worked great. Stupidity would be if they blew themselves
up while wiring it.

Committing fraud on camera is stupid. Getting caught is even more
stupid. They were stupid from any angle you look at it.
