Re: Saudi oil

True enough. But I watched a documentary on the Hindenburg a while back and at 
least some of the latest research places the blame for starting the fire on the 
paint. I can't remember what exactly was in it, but they said it was like 
painting it with TNT. They tested a piece of similar fabric with the same paint 
on it and POOF! There were several other factors they considered from the film 
footage that seems to indicate that the hydrogen didn't go up first - the 
visible flames from the very beginning (hydrogen burns clear) and the way it 
kind of settled to the ground rather than BAM! THUD! 

And having singed all the hair off one arm at one time due to some carelessness 
with gasoline fumes and my sister in law barely escaping major damage to 
herself and her house in a similar but separate incident, I don't know that 
hydrogen would be much worse! ;-)
