Haha... I agree. And anyways, although I figured talking about bombs required someone with a vivid imagination, it seems like it was not far from the truth this time... An O2 bottle letting go isn't all that different from a bomb. I've never seen the composite wrapped aluminum tanks go, but I've seen what a scuba tank can do when it lets go, and it isn't pretty. Qantas seems to be in the news a lot these days with mx issues, between the O2 bottle explosion, improperly working oxygen masks, and that nitrogen in the O2 bottle issue...
