"Duster" wrote in message . .. Holy **** and all I wanted was a video... hehe this is almost better though.. Duster Tarver cannot get it through his head that having the air handling units operating under the CWT when the A/C is stationary is like putting a pressure cooker with a small amount of fuel in it, on a stove at low heat. There have been several incidents world wide where Boeing A/C of various models have exploded sitting at gates, on ramps, taxing out, or shortly after take off after sitting with the air handling units running under ~ empty CWT's. There are now "Air Safety Directives" stipulating/requiring certain operating protocols to minimize this hazard associated with the "Boeing CWT Design Philosophy". All very true. I was nevertheless disappointed as a pyromaniac kid, that placing a closed paint can 1/4 full of petrol / gasoline over a camp stove *didn't* result in the conflagration I was hoping for !

Graham ;-) You left/put to much in the can. You want a show. Put 1 cap full of gasoline/petrol in a dry standard 2 liter bottle, put the lid on, put it in the middle of a 55 gallon "Burn Barrel" filled with loose News paper. Light the News paper, stand way back. Just the closed bottle itself exploding has been known to scatter burning paper some distance. Adding a "Cap full of Petrol/Gasoline" to the bottle, depending on exact direction of explosive failure within the barrel, has been know to turn the barrel over/roll it around. Caution have a water hose handy to deal with "Grass Fires" resulting from the scattered burning paper. Don't try this where burning paper will land on building roofs, or drift into areas conducive of "Wild Fires". Expect burning paper to be blown as much as 100' in the air depending on proper placement of paper in barrel before lighting the fire. Ralph Nesbitt Professional FD/CFR/ARFF Type |

What is it I do not have a "Clue About" regarding the "Inherent Dangers" associated with "The Boeing CWT Design Philosophy"? In the above context I am using the Term "Inherent Dangers" as defined/used by the Liability Insurance Industry. Ralph Nesbitt Professional FD/CFR/ARFF Type |
