    Couple days ago at the TA in OKC. Heard the story that the guy was asleep in the bunk when the sound of the windows exploding woke him up. He got out with minor burns. Not sure if he was actually smoking in the sleeper berth or if a cigarette in the ash tray caught fire.

    Smoking cigarettes should be classified as a mental illness and these people should be the first ones the ATF breaks down their house door and takes their guns before they go on mass shootings.
