A scene in "Ghostbuster II" where Egon is doing a study on a couple who are arguing. The temperature level was steadily increased to see if it had any effect on the situation. Of course, it was funny, but only because it was so perverse.

The whole situation in the Superdome can be boiled down (ha ha) to simple physics:

An increase in temperature is directly related to an increase in pressure when exerted on a finite volume in an enclosed space. What you end up with is a volatile force that must be released.

(It has been awhile since I used my "Physics Muscle (tm)", but I'm pretty sure I am correct with the above equation.)


IOW, the poor bastids cain't help themselves until the A/C gets fixed.

FWIW.

Peace,
