Man, talk about comparing apples to oranges. Besides the fact that O2 is is mentioned with this, there is absolutely NO relevance to the topic at hand. And, I might point out, if the shipment was 02 cylinders, this accident would never have happened. These generators are incendiary devices, not compressed gas cylinders. Cut the bullshit, Chuck. We know where you stand. The next thing you know you will be pulling up comparisons to railroad crossing/school bus accedents to O2 cleaning, and then saying in a high-pitched sally struthers-like voice "BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN!".
