True.Scientist was the late great physicist Richard Feynman. He witnessed a
demonstration in 1966, noticed a cord leading to an electrical plug and
insisted that it be disconnected. Papp (actually called "Joseph Papf" in the
article) reluctantly complied, the engine over-heated and exploded. One
attendant was killed. Papp subsequently sued Feynman about it. You can read
the article written by Feynman at
