...instance, to anyone with a flair for chemistry, understanding the meanings of most terms found on the outside of commercially-packaged food or health-care products pose little problem. Partially hydrogenated soybean oil is simply oil extracted from soybeans, which contains several double-bonded carbon atoms per molecule, that has been reacted with hydrogen and a catalyst. This process breaks some of the double bonds, enabling a few more of the carbon atoms to accept electrons from the hydrogen. Partial or complete hydrogenation is performed to make a substance remain solid at higher temperatures...
About 29 years ago, as an Air Force B-36 bomber flew over New Mexico, a hydrogen bomb weighing 42,000 lbs. somehow got loose, tore away the plane's bomb-bay doors and plunged to earth, landing in the desert about ten miles from Albuquerque. The Mark 17, an estimated ten-megaton monster hundreds of times more powerful than the weapon that leveled Hiroshima, was one of the largest bombs in the U.S. arsenal. It did not set off a nuclear explosion, but it did leave a crater 24 ft. across...
Investigators say the accident occurred when ajoint in a solid rocket booster failed and causedsuperheated gases to burn through the externalfuel tank containing liquid hydrogen and liquidoxygen, triggering the explosion...
History repeated itself in the skies over Lakehurst, N.J., last week. Just three-quarters of a mile from where the hydrogen-filled dirigible Hindenburg exploded into flames in 1937, killing 36, an experimental airship known as the Heli-Stat apparently lost power, crashed and burned during a test flight at the U.S. Naval Air Engineering Center. One of the five civilian crew members was killed...
