Has anyone ever covered 100m in under 9 seconds from a running start?

If they would have, we would have heard about it. Maybe some Jungle man deep in the heart of the Amazon that no one knows about might have, but that someone that we know of, no.

I like the Amazon man answer. I found something interesting though: http://worldrec.info/2007/08/28/athletics-100m-what-is-the-fastest-possible-timeThis covers the fastest possible "assembled" 100m based on the best ever recorded split times for every 10m. They add up to about 9.5. However, the fastest first 10m length is 1.69 seconds due to the acceleration time off the blocks, while everything else is in the .85-.90 range.Replace the first 10 meters with a .90 and I'd venture that Bolt last night possibly covered a 100m stretch of the 200m final in under 9 seconds!
Asafa Powel ran 100m in 8.70 seconds as the anchor leg in the 4x100m men's sprint team in the 2008 Beijing Olympics - the fastest electronically timed 100m ever.
Bob Hayes has the fastest hand-timed 100m, also as the anchor leg, as part of the US Olympic Sprint team at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, with a time of 9.5 seconds.

You false start (Start running before they shoot the gun), you intercept someone else running, you push/shove/hit/kick/trip/etc. anyone, or you go out of your lane for more than 3 steps.
Can you change spark plugs while the car is running?
No. The spark plugs are responsible for igniting the fuel in the cylinders. If you start yanking them out, the engine is going to stop running. This is covered in the book Things That Dummies Do.

What would cause a 2002 Oldsmobile Alero to start and only run for a few seconds before dying after replacing the fuel pump and filter?
Make sure the pump keeps running when you start the engine. The pump will shut off after a few seconds if you just turn on the key then don't start the engine. That's normal. But the computer is designed to detect that the engine is running and if so, keep the fuel pump running as well. If the computer somehow isn't detecting that the engine is running, you probably have a faulty sensor, connector or wire. Make certain that you check the wire! Sometimes the wire can be damaged and the fuel pump will not run. Good luck.
What do you do if your 2004 our Chevy Suburban rans out of gas and will not restart after putting gas in the tank?
If you are sure that it ran out of fuel and that the fuel pump is running then turn the key on ( Do not try to start it) wait 10 seconds and then turn key off wait 10 seconds and repeat this step about 4 times. Then try to start the engine.
