Sure is sad. I watched the video as well as read the story. Imagine
how her boyfriend must feel and the rv'r whose exhaust killed her.
The news video claimed they had camped next to each other before and
the only difference was there was no wind. Like the article said, the
campfires must have blocked any exhaust fume smell and CO has no
smell. She was a nice kid and was just enjoying a joyous time with
good friends. Hugh

Yep, I was being flippant over someone's demise. Saying "Sorry" doesn't cut
it. Bad cess all around!

Question: Why don't ALL RVs with gensets put the exhaust through the roof?
Some of the high dollar units do. Maybe a bit more money, but when rigs
cost about a quarter mil, what the hell.

Any thoughts? Comments?

Cliff in TN - also, the damn engine exhaust ...

    ... You must remember, in that shot, Discovery is still traveling at well over 100 knots--the exhaust is being dissipated by the slipstream between the vertical stabilizer and the OMS/RCS pods (if you view the visible light version of the "on fire" landing, even during rollout, the flames are dragged back along the body). ...
