I'm not sure what the relevance of this is.

An unwarranted assumption. Unless you've had a chance to study the necessary documents (and/or the relevant fuel line itself) you have no way of knowing what, if any safety measures were in place. It's likely there was some form of safety cutout in place, but the exact nature of that cutout and whether it was designed to handle that sort of a situation is impossible to know without the necessary evidence.

I try to stay out of these discussions, really I do. I don't fool myself into thinking that I can sway any opinions on an internet message board. I just get so frustrated by people who are willfully ignorant. I find it mind boggling that some people seem to be so determined to find a conspiracy that they'll twist or even outright ignore evidence that discredits them. The principle of parsimony is your friend, folks.
