I think that information has been known for a while. There might be more details in the author's book, I've not read it. The good news is redundancy works.

Had a segment on Mysteries at The Museum, here a while back...of course they didn't go into much detail.......
Sounds like a good idea for an upcoming movie.
Sounds like a good reason to be prepared for anything.
When you stop and think about it...There is no such thing as "almost explode".....it either does or it doesn't...which means the safe guards worked.
You know your day is going to be a good one when.....
Man in PJs opens window and stares outside...."Uh.....honey. Did you know there's a bomb with a parachute in the back yard?"
Wife "Oh, I forgot to tell you. That fell out of the sky yesterday. You'd think they would track those more closely than that. Can you call someone about it today?"
Man still staring out window...."Uh, sure. Sure. No, no problem."
That would be a good day! On a typically day it would be more like this.Quote:

Wife: Yeah, yeah! Just get that garbage outta here!
Husband: Yes, dear.
You're probably right. Somehow we'd get the blame for it.
Boom....Quote:
