Oroville Dam's Recently Reconstructed Main Spillway Fundamentally Flawed From the link: Jack in VA ‏ @Jack_in_VA 16h16 hours ago …The spillway cost $2 billion, including overtime and change orders from Kiewit. How do you fix it? You can’t caulk that subterranean high pressure water from the top of the spillway; it must be caulked from the bottom, at the foundation. What can they do?… They spent TWO BILLION DOLLARS and it'a still ain't worth a shit! |

There's got to be cheaper ways. Maybe buy one on craigslist? Have them inflate it though. I recall a story about the director of Titanic.

I read that. Makes ya think doesn't it? ===== [gurgle says] The average balloon costs for a small 2 person is about $22,000. For balloons to carry pilot plus 4 passages the average cost is 35,000 to over $45,000. This price includes the envelope, gondola, fuel tanks, and instruments, but does not include any ground support equipment or chase vehicle. |

Oroville Dam's Recently Reconstructed Main Spillway Fundamentally Flawed That's not much fuel. And frankly, with todays small oxy tanks I bet (fire considerations aside) you could have an hmm, 1lb of fuel to say 100lbs of lift ratio. Again, it's simple, watch the wind, blast the thing full when the wind's right, then float to the buttes or to GCC and then hit the release valves and drop into their parking lotor the buttes. In either case, GCC has loose slots and fairly decent stars, it's a good crowd. The Buttes, well they'd be mad, but possibly your swagger would make them smile. anyway if you land it right they have to climb to get to you. |
