| 2005-01-18 |
 An oil tanker carrying jet fuel for US-led coalition forces in Afghanistan exploded in Chaman after it caught fire on Monday, an official said. A hotel was also partially damaged but there were no casualties in the incident. Witnesses said it was a bomb explosion and two people were injured seriously. The oil tanker was parked at the Kargil Shahidan hotel and was soon to leave for Kandahar. |

| #3 From MacNails really neato link: When a Navy jet is refueled in flight by an Air Force tanker with Air Force fuel, safety rules prohibit the plane from being stored below deck on the ship when it lands. :) |
