"A taboo is a strong social prohibition (or ban) relating to any area of human activity" . . .(e.g. aviation (fuel tank explosions, etc.), power engineering (transformer explosions), depot fuel tank explosions, friction, etc.)

When an activity or custom is classified as taboo it is forbidden and interdictions are implemented concerning the topic, such as the ground set apart as a sanctuary for criminals. Some taboo activities or customs are prohibited under law and transgressions may lead to severe penalties.. "
