Burn due to a sawdust explosion.

Burns due to explosions of various types of inflammable dust have been reported, including coal dust, flour and grain dust. A 33-year-old worker was burned over 33 per cent of his body surface area in a sawdust explosion. Recovery was uneventful. This is the first reported case due to this mechanism as far as we have been able to ascertain.

Kursk Explosion

On 12 August 2000 two explosions damaged the Russian submarine, the Kursk. The largest event was well recorded at seismic networks in northern Europe, which we then modeled. We developed a hybrid method based on generalized ray theory that treats an explosive source embedded in a fluid and recorded along continental paths. Matching record sections of observations with synthetics, we obtain an e...

The first three might be taken together, for I understand that the insurance companies are no more concerned with the elderly driver as an insurance risk than with anyone else; in fact if the amount of premium required is a criterion he is considered to be less of a ...
