Before I retired, I worked at the Michoud Assembly Facility in East New Orleans, LA. We built the Space Shuttle External Tank there. A colleague of mine had a plan to fill one of those tanks (there are actually two tanks in one
assembly) with pig fat and air burst it over Baghdad. Sounded like a good plan to me.
