According to this page: http://www.pr.afrl.af.mil/JP8plus100.html Ethylene dibromide has never been used in jet fuel. Any sources that say otherwise?

Since the statement was unsourced and contradicted else, I have removed it. It didn't make much sense logically either. Edgar181 12:13, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Can anyone cite sources that say a woman died due to ingestion of dibromoethane? Not disputing it, just kinda random as it sits. Blocky 16:33, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
