Name	Type	Comments	Date

Gary Everhart	General	Sad view but at least we know the disposition. Did they first burn it before scrapping the metal in it?	8/7/2013 8:06:52 PM

Chuck Zeiler	General	Yes, the interior was doused with an accelerant (presumably, gasoline), the car set on fire, burning off everything that wasn't steel, then after it cooled down, the car was cut up. There wasn't much left after this technique was used on the wood cars. You couldn't get away with that process today.	8/7/2013 8:49:17 PM
