Not 777 but 8888, this was what actually happened right?

@24121TunPerak Yes, this is the real deal. It was this incident that inspired the movie.

Too bad the TV show that did that bit was about as dumb as a box of rocks.The got ABSOLUTLY NOTHING correct except the state it happened in.Moron media!

[CimarronWestfolk]

@SPUPRR I agree it's the best coverage of the incident. But hey, it's what I found that I could put up regarding the matter.

I just like seeing "crazy 8's" in action.

@CimarronWestfolk I meant.......it's NOT the best coverage

tanks dont blow up with ordinary rifle bullets ;)

@SPUPRR

I think it was more about the fueling being toxic more than it being flammable.

[TheSuperdude827]

Y the hell would you shoot a fuel tank it could blow up

But this isn't the full story. I have been reading and the Fuel Shut-off on an SD40-2 like Crazy Eights has to be held down for a few seconds to even begin working. And what about Q63615? They completely left it out, even though that is what truely slowed Crazy Eights.
