This is facinating.
For what it's worth, I went back to the source I was asking for
information on O2 handling, (a welding shop), and grilled them on O2
explosions, how they were prevented, and how catastropic they are if they
occur.
Turns out that they use metal to metal connections exclusively, to avoid
exactly what we are talking about here.
They were also unainimous in their opinion that an O2 fire, once started,
would escalate to a catastrophie instantly, with no prevention possible.
I can't help but note that they were also unainimous in their
inexperiance, that is, none of them had ever witnessed such an event.
Your theory, if so, seems to indicate that the event you described is an
absolute worst case. That is, any opening to the envirement would cause
such a collapse, and extinquish the fire.
Do you agree?
To continue, I don't understand why you aren't willing to follow up on
your claim, but I suppose I'm willing to investigate further, as I'm
interested in O2 cleaning issues.
From your first post:
>Last week at Underseas Divers on Big Pine Key
OK, the shop name is Underseas Divers, but I have no idea where Big Pine
Key is.
What state? What city-town?
Do you want me to look these up myself, or could you provide a phone
number-area code?
Do you have the name of the person who was injured? What date did it
occur on?
