Really drives home the point that all that stands between a chemical and an explosion can be an impossibly small bit of activation energy.

It's called an"Industrial accident" girls and boys.
The difference, as with everything.
Its the SIZE that matters!
And it was only reported as a "loud pop"...
(Sialne cylinder accident)
If it ain't broke don't fix it....
Now where are my screwdrivers?  |
