"A Servant of God without a Head," one of the stand-out poems in Red Flash, tends toward what Louis Zukofsky called the "[l]ower limit [of] speech"; it illustrates Donahue's facility at capturing—with considerable panache—our bewildering and belated postmodern condition: …In the glow of far cities, it's easy to cross the wrong airspace and wind up carried in a beige catamaran to the water, and sailing toward the clouds where the mountains are, leaving dogs and crows around a bonfire or a wall of smoke, across a green hill, spilling from the torn bits of the new cardboard card, copying the old plastic card, copying money, copying enslavement to birth and death, that black road ending in a white mist by the ruins of a tavern where the Revolt of the Spirit was betrayed, where what would have been a landmark is now a men's room with pictures spread out on the floor.

A flashover occurred, setting ablaze approximately of the ceiling within seconds. This was accompanied by an intense buildup of thick, black smoke. A total of 11 metric tons of polystyrene burned down, as well as numerous PVC cable coatings, releasing highly toxic substances including carbon monoxide, dioxins, hydrogen cyanide and hydrogen chloride. As there was neither a sprinkler system nor fire doors (which was not mandatory at that time), a wall of smoke spread through the terminal building.

These include Rheinmetall's Acoustic Sniper Localisation System (ASLS) and Situational Awareness System (SAS), assuring 360° monitoring of the vehicle's surroundings. Rheinmetall's Rapid Obscurant System (ROSY) system for generating a smoke screen is an option. Unlike conventional smoke/obscurant systems, ROSY creates an instantaneous, extensive, multispectral interruption of the line of sight, including a dynamic wall of smoke/obscurant that provides moving objects with sustained protection and concealment. The under- development Active Protective System (APS) will be a further option.
