I'm sure this has probably been posted somewhere here before, but it's pretty cool. Modern technology!

50 year old technology that probably still hasn't been developed to it's full potential.

Only problem is, If you blow it up, you don't just throw a rod or crack a block, you take the whole county with you.

I doubt there was any issue of "blowing it up". The fuel was LP gas. Hydrogen wasn't stored anywhere. You would probably have a harder time blowing up a one room school house with this than with the gas tank off a D14.
 The problem with it was the cost of building the fuel cells. 
 Now General Motors claims they will be the first to use this "new" technology.
