It Took A Stanford Professor to tell us this?


"The largest, 27-foot section of the San Bruno pipe unpeeled like a banana, and the force of the explosion sent it flying 100 feet through the air. Eight people died, and 37 homes were destroyed in the Sept. 9 disaster."

"This pipe basically unpeeled and failed catastrophically," said Tom Bowman, chairman of the thermosciences division in Stanford University's mechanical engineering department."
Catastrophic failure? Duh...the scientists from Stanford figured that out all by themselves? Apparently they don't watch the evening news. I figured that out all by myself and I'm not a professor of Engineering at Stanford.
