The trooper stated they filled 30 18 wheelers.. If each one was loaded with 40,000 lbs. that would only be 1.2 million pounds.. It would take more like 110 18 wheelers all holding 40,000 lbs. That would be a truck convoy over 4 miles long.... Are you kidding me ? What a crock of shit this story has been right from the night the Meteor hit.. [/quote] If it's true, we've got all of those 'bombs on wheels' and nobody has been forthcoming about WHERE they are headed. :hiding: [/quote] In this video, the sheriff says they are keeping it on the base, but moving it into bunkers. I wonder how much fits in one of those bunkers. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awCGQIrJhPY[/youtube] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awCGQIrJhPY [/quote]

Doyline evacuation extended; 6M pounds of black powder to be moved
CAMP MINDEN, LA (KSLA) -
Authorities now believe they're dealing with more than 6 million pounds of M6 powder at Camp Minden.
Original estimates had the stockpile officials say was improperly stored on property leased by Explo Systems, Inc. at 1 million pounds.
"That's a lot of product, a lot of dangers in there, there are a lot of worst case scenarios, we need to work through those safely," says Louisiana State Police Colonel Michael Edmondson.
The new estimate comes two days into operations to move and secure the smokeless black powder into authorized storage facilities on the site.
The operation is now expected to continue into Tuesday, extending the evacuation of the town of Doyline at least that much longer.
