So The Sandia Report Now Says 1 Mile Danger Zone You Say?


From the Sandia Report: 12 square meter breech of a tanker hold:
"Even with the increase in thermal hazard distances from pool fires for
the larger ships, the most significant impacts to public safety and property are still within
approximately 500 m of a spill, with lower public health and safety impacts at distances beyond
approximately 1600 m for near-shore operations.






See the white track on the map?"




That's the Shipping Channel going past Astoria




The Blue Hash Lines are the I mile radius off the center of the Shipping Channel and area to scale of the drawing.

I guess you might watch the conflagration from the column, although the forest fires could overwhelm you in the traffic jam down the dump road on the way to refuge in Olney.

Pat, this demands serious attention!!!.

I'm headed back to Salem tomorrow to work on stopping this madness, on my own dime. This is getting tiresome. Recall, referendum and dismissal are such civilized expressions. Where is the outrage, the tar, the feathers?

The silly part about all this is that we are going to have to adjust our own infrastructure, purchase specialized equipment to pay for our own protection and put our asses on the line for one, maybe two private corporations abetted by officials we elected to office to represent us in OUR interests?
