I'm a mechanical engineer. There are engineering safety factors, and then there is the "what if someone flies a plane into this building" factor. No ******* chance in hell anyone is going to build anything with that safety factor. Obviously too expensive and nothing would ever get built. This is just silly.

Yes.

Magnesium is used in all aircraft.

That is what I figured. So, if the magnesium in these planes Startex burning and we're sprayed with water, you know, from a sprinkler system or broken wate pipes, the water separate's into its elements, which are highly flammable, might there be some explosions that sound like bombs?
