"At that point, we know the tank is going into thermal runaway."

"This is as real as it gets. It's the worst-case scenario I've ever faced in my career."

"We have no idea. Everybody asked me that question and I would love to give you an answer. There's no precedent on this."

"we brought in subject-matter experts from across the state to help us think outside the box."

""This thing is going to fail, and we don't know when.""
