Pops self on head. Of course! EMI in the high VHF bands was transmitted from the speaker wire running directly into the skin of the main tank and focused by the concave surface at the bottom of the tank. The power density was thus amplified 10^2+/-0.5 in the same region as the transducer, possibly generating a lethal static discharge that could cause a chain reaction that would destroy the entire shuttle on the launch pad, killing the crew and countless seagulls and pigeons.

I was just thinking the same thing...

Thank goodness at least SOMEONE recognizes the dangers to our pigeons and seagulls! Does PETA Know about this?
Oh and by the way - I figure the power density variation was only +/- 0.46. Check your work - you too Brush)! ;-)
