Gasoline is not combustible at standard atmospheric conditions. The most you would get would be a big fireball similar to what Hollywood likes to represent as an "explosion" (often gasoline in a trash bag). In reality most explosives do not create much visible flame unless they ignite other materials, and a big fireball does not create hardly any explosive "force."The worst you'd have to worry about is setting your house or lawn on fire.
Oil prices were kept low to promote spending and travel during the holidays. If holiday sales figures would have been any worst the economy would have taken a huge nose dive (again).Simple bushanomics folks.
I like how the grass remained untouched after 3,000 (3'000) barrels exploded over it. And what's with the tornadic vortices in the first half of the video when the buildings were being torn apart?So realistic!
Someone's blaming the jews?The local Anti-Defamation League had something to say about people's impression of Jews after the Bernie Madoff scandal. My take was this: Holy shiit, Bernie Madoff is JEWISH? Who gives a s**t? If he was a Rastafarian, he'd still be a crook.
