"Tim Williams" ..

Now excuse me while I go mix hydrogen peroxide, acetone and a dash of
sulfuric acid.

Tim



There was freight train with a tank car of hydrogen peroxide and one
of acetone coupled next to each other. While switching atop the
continenal divide the train ran away and roll backwards 20 some miles
where it hit a locomotive. The axle set from one of the cars was
found in a basement over a mile away...on the other side of a tall
hill.
No one was harmed.. -30 below blew out windows
and lost the power for hour$$$ biggest boom I've heard.
