Oh cool, a Concorde! Were you on it? I heard they are pretty small. Imagine flying supersonic like that. A lot of rich people and celebrities flew on those. Wasn't it a piece of metal that was on the runway that got kicked up and punctured the full fuel tank? sux. Bizarre accidents happen.
I was once going down the Parkway delivering a chandelier. It was a very wiry chandelier packed in a 2 x 2 x 3' box; that was completely filled with styrofoam peanuts. The box had been opened with the top folded folded up the way you do with cardboard boxes.
When I hit about 70 mph, a small opening happened in the top center of the box flaps, and low pressure sucked the peanuts up and out of the box. There was a huge blizzard of styrofoam peanuts trailing behind my truck for a hundred yards! That really made the tailgaters back off!
