    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Doesn't appear to be a true story to me. No scorching at all inside the vehicle. Both rear doors bent identically when a blast would have blown out the window and left the door frame mostly intact. The vehicle looks intentionally trashed to me...likely after a regular wreck. Note the airbag is deployed.

    It wasn't a fire explosion, but an acetylene bottle. The only thing is I don't believe he was in it. If the explosion did that to metal, then logic would tell me that he would have had more injuries than what he stated.

    An acetylene explosion would be a fireball.
