"risk of injury versus "instant incineration"
editI refer to the sentence (italics added here, only to highlight the phrase at issue):
In light of the Mount Hood tragedy, which involved the complete explosion of another ammunition ship, the USS Mount Hood, it became clear that those on the Murzim and other ammo ships were running the risk of injury at every moment of their stint in the Pacific Theater.
This was originally
In light of the Mount Hood tragedy, which involved the complete explosion of another ammunition ship, the USS Mount Hood, it became clear that those on the Murzim and other ammo ships were running the risk of instant incineration at every moment of their stint in the Pacific Theater.
(See the photo of the Mt Hood explosion at USS Mount Hood (AE-11)).
In light of the photo, which looks just like an atomic bomb, which is the best phrase, "risk of injury" or "risk of instant incineration"? In all due respect to all those who served on the Mt. Hood, on the USS Murzim and other ammo ships in the Pacific Theater, I suggest that this be reverted back to how it was. It did not involve a figure of speech or an exageration.AtomAnt (talk) 14:28, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
The wording has been changed, in light of the foregoing concern.200.160.81.155 (talk) 17:19, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
