This article looked cool, till I read this part on page 2:

"(the blast had nothing to do with fusion; hydrogen mixed with oxygen, creating the equivalent of rocket fuel)."

I didn't know water was explosive, and it would make a pretty heavy rocket fuel.

LOL!

No doubt, you are feigning ignorance here, in order to make a joke... ;-}

It is the exothermic chemical combination reaction of hydrogen with oxygen to form water that releases copious amounts of energy. Of course, water (the reaction product) is not a fuel. It is the remains ('ash') of an exothermic reaction that has already occurred.

Of course, the (mis) use of the word, "creating" in the sentence to which you responded is ludicrously funny:

"(the blast had nothing to do with fusion; hydrogen mixed with oxygen, creating the equivalent of rocket fuel)."

The ignorant reporter should have used "acting as" instead of "creating"...

And of course, using "mixed with" instead of "reacted with" makes the reporter's sentence even more misleading...

Where do they get those ignoramuses who call themselves "reporters"? :-(
