Bill Clinton visited both the Grand Canyon (in 2000) and Yellowstone (in 1995). President Clinton stayed in the Mary Colter Suite of the Grand Canyon's El Tovar and had lunch at Yellowstone's Old Faithful Inn. President Clinton and the First Lady also took a stroll around Old Faithful Geyser.
Exploding Water in the Microwave. It's practically an urban legend: a man heats water in the microwave for a cup of instant coffee. While taking the cup out of the microwave, he notices the water doesn't have any bubbles...at which point, the water boils up and explodes, giving him burns on his face and hands.

Pressure relief vs. Temperature Pressure Relief The two contributing factors that cause water heaters to explode are excessive water temperature and a failing in the tank itself. The failing or weakness could be in the design or could be caused by a defect from extensive corrosion or just normal wear.
