Question 2

Ford manufactured its Pinto auto (a subcompact car) from 1968 to 1980. The gas tank was rigidly mounted and the top of the tank was the floor of the trunk compartment. There was no shield to prevent the spread of fire into the auto. Fox sustained severe burns when his Pinto was hit from behind and exploded into flames. Discuss possible theories of recovery for Fox.
