I saw it on the ABC news tonite. It was a Trailerail train which must be the
only time the tyres of a train will burn. I noticed that they mentioned the
fact that there were cylinders of compressed Helium on the train, the
implication being (I suppose) that these would add to the inferno. I assume
that passing year 8 chemistry is not required for ABC journalists.
