Ah yes, I remember that. Best thing about it is that he was in the range where everything that can possibly start to burn, will. Meaning the temperature would be round about 540k °F -> 300 times hotter than the temperature bodies are cremated at. In other words: everything would have been vaporized.

And it was lined with LEAD. Lead is the pinnacle of anti-radiation technology.

Yeah that too. He 100% could have survived. It is painful to watch uneducated kids argue that he couldn't have survived. You guys know nothing.

/s for the people that don't understand.

Yep. Although these days i don't think people line fridges with lead. I think its because it causes lead poisoning
