    And if you read my post, by "documented history" I meant Hatchers notebook. But yes, Steve has posted documents from the Marines basically saying the report was a way for Hatcher to drum up funding during the depression.
    Based on your statement I doubt you've read hatchers notebook, you also didn't read or quote "all" of Steve's post either. He continued to say that the Marines later changed their stance on Hatchers research and the risk of LN 03s. I've seen a blown up LN 03 action (case) and there were pieces 75 feet away. I see a lot of reckless remarks on this subject that are based on opinion alone, without any diligent research or heed to experience. If people only look for what they want to see, they will remain oblivious to the risk.
