http://hoaxes.org/comments/papparticle.html which has a text that it identifies as being drawn from an article "The Dream Machine" By David Ansley, San Jose Mercury News (August 27, 1989), p. 8; "Papp became frantic; the engine was running without any controls, he said. Feynman relented and gave up the plug. Papp put it back in the socket right away and the engine blew apart ... A Mattel engineer died"; although Ansley was the Science & Medicine Editor for the San Jose Mercury News, a search of the archives of the Mercury News does not show an article written by him between August 9 and September 15 of 1989, nor an article in the Mercury News titled "The Dream Machine"
