Everyone should take a few minutes and read this report.
The attachments contain some very interesting facts, including internal reports and recommendations from GM engineers as well as Chrysler engineers. In short, fuel tanks located outside of the frame are unacceptable.
I believe that the 20/20 segment, because of its disingenuous portrayal of a firey crash, caused people to believe that the there was no problem. 20/20 should have made it clear that this was a simulation of what can happen. They did not and they were wrong. Deceptive journalism has created many skeptics and that is unfortunate.

Take a little time to read this article and attachments.
