ISTR (but it was a long time ago so I could be very, very wrong) reading of tests where bullets were fired through hydrogen adsorption tanks, the kind that were intended for motor vehicle use, to prove that they wouldn't explode. I remember seeing film of just such a test on Tomorrow's World about 40 years ago. What they don't show is that you can do the same through a petrol tank. Don't be silly! Everyone knows that if you fire a gun in the rough direction of a car it will explode in a huge cloud of flame and black smoke. I've seen it on TV. And at the cinema. Same thing happens if you fire a shotgun at a domestic gas tank, even though there's nothing that burns with smoke in one of those. That was in The Bourne Identity and that's gritty and realistic so that must be true as well. Ah well, must be true then :-) -- Graeme Wall This account not read, substitute trains for rail.
