FedEx MD-11 fire

Let's not do the work of our enemies for them by finding negative stories that are almost 2 years old and posting them here again for Google to find.

 

[Mr_Phil]

If google finds them here, at least a reasonable rebuttal can possibly be had. And, self-censoring is more in line with the enemy tactics. But, to avoid any contention I will abide by your request.

Edited to add that there are any number of negative articles here. I'd say that was gathering intel on our enemies actions.

If antis want to learn the darkest secrets of the e-cig, they should interview Cisco. He's so brutally honest that he can make e-cigs sound a lot scarier than I imagined they possibly could be...which is still not particularly dangerous in absolute terms, much less when compared against smoking.

The whole thing is so lame.
What if it was a shipment of batteries for cellphones or notebooks?
Recent history is full of explodig cellphone batt, notebooks on fire and so on.
Nokia Sony, Toshiba and many other were all affected.
Would it be diiferent if the article was "Cellphone battery cause FedEx MD-11 fire " ?
I agree to not to dig into this "wannabe a scoop" kind of news, expecially if they are 2 years old.

Pfft. 1 fire due to batteries when how many fires each year are started by actual smokers falling asleep w/ lit cigarettes?!? I can take a 9 volt battery and some steel wool and start a fire. Ban steel wool? Ban 9 volt batteries? Come on....
