OP you need to work on your emotions and stop the clickbaity titles.

Haha, not my title, the article's. I don't change them too often because it disrupts my flow going through my RSS feeds while I select things I want to get into in depth myself, and I know publishers make these decisions for a reason. The text is pretty ok though. Feel free to downvote them.

Why didn't they just use a socket wrench?

This is why you don't send an scientest to do an engineer's job

I could've done it in like 10mins. Easy-peasy. Oxy-acetylene torch, fastener can't be stuck if it's a liquid.

It is being stored and a clean room that is temp controlled any heat or anything would contaminate the sample.

Funny, not sure why people can't understand it's a joke. But I've learned my lesson that I always add /S when I do the sarc joke
