| 796855 | 2009-07-31 09:30:00 | Hi All. Did you see this story on the news tonight? The milk tanker hit a car which burst into flames. He tried to use the truck fire extinguisher but it faied & he had to watch the woman burn to death. Dammit. Why didn't he put the fire out with milk? Assuming he had it. PJ |

| 796857 | 2009-07-31 21:52:00 | The problem with fire extinguishers in vehicles is because numbnuts mount them vertically. When ever the truck is going over bumps the powder gets compressed hard in the bottom of the bottle. When you pull the trigger no way is the lump in the bottom of the bottle going anywhere. Like helicopters mount them on their side. |
