Vegvary" quickly quoth:

Again our news media (AP story) mentions that the Palestinians broke down
the barrier(s) to Egypt using a blowtorch (on the metal fences). Do they
really mean an oxy/acetylene cutting torch? Did the phrase blow torch ever
mean anything other than the little hand held jobbies that holds what we
used to call "white gas" and was used for heating metal objects?

Who knows what our braindead media meant? The massive corrugated
panels I saw the Palestinians stepping over appeared to be pushes
over, with no markings on the bottom from cutting torches that I could
make out. shrug
