: (Laughing) If you watch more Hollywood movies, you will learn this basic princicple of physics: Every time any car/plane, etc crashes, it blows up in a huge explosion!
: Actually I recently saw a cartoon that made fun of this phenomenon... a horse and buggy went off the road, crashed, and blew up!

That's the same thing my wife and I laugh about when watching a western. A wagon falls off a cliff, we always ask why it didn't blow up? I've actually see old "B" westerns where they did! Regards. Michaelson
