    Neat site of oral histories of the Bomb project: http://manhattanprojectvoices.org/oral-histories/rose-bethes-interview That one linked above is with Rose Bethe, wife of Hans Bethe, physicist who ran the so-called Theoretical Division at Los Alamos (the other 3 divisions being Experimental Physics, Chemistry & Metallurgy, and Ordnance). In his career before and after Los Alamos, Bethe tossed off little bagatelles like figuring out how the sun works.

  5. There are any number of imponderables about this ill fated flight. Some have been mentioned above. Pilots are trained to don oxygen and smoke masks at the slightest hint of a problem. It is difficult to imagine toxic fumes so overpowering that this training would be overcome. Certainly then a distress call would have gone out. Even if contact with Air Traffic Control (ATC) were not available there are always other aircraft on frequency that would have heard such a call. I am not that familiar with lithium-ion batteries. I read the news and technical reports about them but absent an expert suggesting otherwise, I would tend to rely upon my knowledge of NiCad batteries which also have a thermal runaway problem. They can explode or burn fiercely but only with "unusual" charging. At the moment I do not understand how a battery that is not undergoing a discharge-charge cycle can have a thermal runaway. From where does the excess energy come? How and why a plane with everyone on board dead or totally incapacitated would turn and go in a very different direction from intended is indeed a puzzle. Like others, I can dream up movie script scenarios to fit various results, but they make little sense. Best regards, RA1
