Environmental Laws: A Defense Against Zombies?

Do you remember the scene in Night of the Living Dead , where the human try out to refuel the hand truck so they can repel into township to get medical help ? Well , instead of becoming well - done zombie food , they might have made it – if Pennsylvania had had strict environmental jurisprudence .

To set the stage , Ben ( hero ) and Tom and Judy ( cunning teen couple ) have break through the encircle zombie horde and driven Tom ’s truck out to the gun pump in the yard . However , the key they took from the hook label “ accelerator pedal pump ” does n’t work . Ben shoots off the pump curl . As Ben agree the zombies at embayment with his rifle , Tom grabs the accelerator nozzle and run to the motortruck . unluckily , the exhaustively rattle teenager grabs the hooter by the induction and sprays gas ( leaded ! Ugh ) all over the ground and truck . Ben ’s torch ignite the accelerator on the reason . Tom startle back in the hand truck to get aside from the gas heart ( never a safe property to be in case of fire ) but before he can drive off , the flames have spread to his truck . By the meter he and Judy realize the motortruck ’s on fire , it ’s too recently . The truck explodes with them in it .

Had this little drama act out in California 2008 instead of Pennsylvania 1968 , the teens might have gotten away and hold up to be eaten by zombies on another day . Since Night of the Living Dead was film , air defilement laws have been passed in many of the more polluted areas of the country to require the use of “ vapor recovery ” nozzles . These nozzles are designed to pull together and capture the gas evaporation that would otherwise be emitted to the melody . Most vapor convalescence hooter are equip with “ intromission mesh ” which forestall flatulence from being dispensed unless the nozzle is bewilder into the car and the vapor convalescence equipment engaged .

If Tom had take hold of one of these nozzles by the trigger , it would have just click harmlessly no matter how hard he pressed it . He would n’t have run out a single free fall of gas . His only worry would have been getting the nozzle into his truck ’s fill tobacco pipe just right with the zombie close in .

alas , this minor defence against the zombi apocalypse is slowly going off . Not only are many fresh vapor recovery nozzles designed so that an intromission interlock is n’t necessary , the indigence for vapor recovery nozzles of any form is going away . All new car these day are fit out with built in vapor recovery systems , rendering nozzle - establish recovery systems moot . Requirements for vapor recovery nozzles are expected to be phased out over the next several years . Could this be what the zombies have been waiting for ?
