PART OF THE BP RIG ENDED UP ON OUR BEACH TODAY!!!

COrizon,

According to the linked Corexit EC9527A datasheet, the chemical density of the disperant is:

8.2 - 8.5 lb/gal

550 * 8.3 = 4565 + 645lb (empty weight) = 5210 lbs

[link to www.cleancaribbean.org]

SO at 5k plus pounds it could still be both oil or dispersant , with dispersant being slightly heavier...

5 milligrams per cubic meter? ball pack in English units... meter is slightly more than a yard.. so 36" by 36" by 36" (a cubic yard) is a very rough estimate of a cubic meter... so very very roughly 5 milligrams / cubic yard.. ?

Thank you...

So the press gave a decent estimate.

Except, what is the density lbs/gal of sea water?

8lbs or so as well...

So, the container being full of this stuff (550 gals) would then be fairly close to neutral bouyancy.

if you look at the picture of it in the water , it has barely any of itself out of the water at all , this thing was dragging the floor where it was, and they say i guess it dragged all the way here before the oil got here , which is light and floats on the surface?

Reason I ask is because if it was completley full of Sea water, would it not just have sunk? (assume no air pocket in it or nothign substantial).

Nalco Energy Services, L.P. P.O. Box 87 • Sugar Land, Texas 77487-0087
(281)263-7000
guess we could just call and ask them if thats one of theirs?

I could see the undersea currents being enough to push this around if it was not full of sea water.. or full of something slightly less dense than seawater... if it was full of sea water shouldn't it be sitting on the bottom?... completely sunk wuold it not...? I have no experience with ocean stuff... only fresh water lakes and rivers which are somewhat different critters.

Seems a reasonable approach.

I know salt adds Buoyancy

The images from page three are gone too.

I just read the whole thread. I tell you what, this cute little game of information management the TPTB is playing is pitiful! :LMAO-MG:

You guys handled them very well. Nice work. :Thumbs-up-Aiwan:

I started a thread on the same topic when it first came out... Thread: Deepwater Horizon tank washes up in Panama City; Workers promptly remove BP logos

The story DID change... these are the few quotes I copied,

[link to www.floridaoilspilllaw.com]

Deepwater Horizon tank washes up in Panama City; Workers promptly remove BP logos

"A large metal container or storage tank, capable of holding several thousand gallons, washed ashore in the Laguna Beach area of Bay County, Florida Saturday morning. Residents say first crews to the area said they believed the tank, with BP logos, came from the Deep Water Horizon Oil Rig that exploded, burned and sank off the coast of Louisiana 55 days ago. …"

.."it's not known what is inside the tank but the Coast Guard, Bay County Hazmat Teams and The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission sealed off the area for a thousand feet after fumes from the tank were so noxious people began feeling ill. …"

(continued at link..)

There is a video at the link. I don't know how to add it to this site.

What must be done is to open a image hosting account like at imageshack, and take screen shots of stories, save images, and save info. They are in a panic to control this info. Keep a camera with you at all time.

Every night about this time, they unsticky almost all threads. Keep tracking stuff and it will rise to the top again.

Now the BIG question is.. what kind of tidal forces were happening to plop that huge container on the beach? Hellooooo? Did you all just have some major storms? An incredibly high tide? What?

OMG look at this:

They sure are.. and apparently that page had an embedded auto update.. as I had not refreshed or anything.. just clicked on tab on my broswer that had all the photos and I had not refresh, and the page is now completely different.

Auto Refreshed information management to boot. Go figure.

Nice work!!

And remember if you have the cacheing turned on on your browser the original is still sitting in your browser cache if you haven't cleared it yet.

FOULNESS!!!!

One reason we all have to do our own leg work in our own local areas with photos and vids, is that that way WE have the copyright ... so they can't disappear stuff on grounds of copyright.

I agree completely. Interview people. Save documents! I just saved the pdf. you posted.

this is not my photo, it is from the newsherald of panama city fl , I do not claim any copyright and it is here solely for preservation of important historic documentation in the public domain!

Ya know what AC? FUCK your weights and measures!! Buoyant liquid oil (and god knows what else) did not get to that beach yet. You mean to tell me this heavy container beat it there. Go on with your disinfo self! :Talk-to-the-hand:

Excellent! I have it saved now too. :Kiss-MG:

the more copys of this there are , the harder it will be to bury!

Bump :)

Acronym: HORIZ Definition: Horizontal
source: [link to acronyms.thefreedictionary.com]

The officials are saying HORIZ stands for Horizon, but I am incredulous. It could just as easily stand for Horizontal, to indicate the containers should be stacked horizontally. Why wouldn't the just spell out HORIZON? Its only 2 more letters.

That's correct!! How about telling us about the tides and weather in your area.

Lame try. :LMAO-MG:
