While I am sure there are lawyers involved in some aspect, this story about an exploding garbage truck in the Chicago suburb of Arlington Heights last year has nothing to do with legal technology. It also has nothing to do with the Mythbusters (and was not nearly on the same scale as the cement mixer explosion - jump to 2:18).

So this highlight is on recycling. Please recycle and please do it responsibly. Read more at ars technica: See a garbage truck's CNG cylinders explode after lithium-ion battery fire
