Feb. 6

         I'm sure there were fireballs, but "thousands" of feet in 
the air?  Perhaps the fire dept. captain who said this was exhibiting 
some hyperbole.

         The train was hauling ethanol too.  Hmmmmm.

         Somewhat more to the point, doesn't anyone remember all 
those fireballs at Three Mile Island?  (A little hyperbole of my own. . . . )
