Why did the Ford pinto catch on fire?

The story I heard many years ago was this: Ford used the same rear axle in the Pinto that was used in the Falcon. This axle had an attachment bracket that was needed on the Falcon but not on the Pinto. Ford's designers did not see a need to remove this bracket, so they left it in place. Well, during a rear-end collision, this bracket would puncture the fuel tank and cause this car to catch fire!
