Hopefully not based on a true story.

    I love your commitment to spelling Flaming however the fuck you want in the title.

    I know I’m taking this much too seriously, but can we please stop perpetuating the “glowing green sludge/gas” image of nuclear power?

    Cooling towers emit water vapor, for goodness’ sake.

    The mushroom cloud gets a pass, though. That’s just funny.

      Also, a person couldn’t kick an object the size and weight of a head on this trajectory … I’m not sure that Flaming Head is the right comic to criticize here. The absurdity is kind of the point.

      I came to say something similar: if a flaming head fell into the cooling tower, it would just fall down to the bottom surface and not interact with anything more explosive than a steam pipe (on only then if it impacted the inside of the tower.

      The flaming head in the comic continues to burn without fuel or oxygen, but a normal flame might even be put out by the intake breeze at ground level.
