Has anyone tried contacting him to see if the story is real (and if so, if they ever figured out what caused it?)
- JavaJabba 14y agoA co-worker who had worked at the 3M plant at the time told me this story in 2010. I emailed him, he knows David Swenson so maybe I can get David's opinion on the article.

SESSION 7: SPECIAL SESSION, 17th Annual EOS/ESD Symposium THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1995, 8:00 am SESSION 7: SPECIAL SESSION: ELECTROSTATIC CONSIDERATIONS IN INDUSTRY MODERATOR: D.

Swenson, 3M Company Tremendous static charge generation on a plastic web causes unique physical phenomena and special problems. Solution was simple and cost effective.

They never threw a baseball down the tunnel to see if it halted.
