you mean Israeli tourists and Russians living in Israel returning home!
-- "I have seen the worst that man can do.and I can still laugh loudly" R.J. Goldman http://www.usidfvets.com and http://www.stopfcc.com "Tamas Feher" wrote in message ... they would have shot down an unsuspecting airliner You mean the ukrainians, about two years ago? That chartered Tu-154 had five israeli bioweapon "scientists" on-board en route to Russia. They were such a grave danger to the whole mankind that they needed to be eliminated at such a huge price in civilians. You mean the USSR, with KAL-007? There was an US RC-135 in the air, using the KAL-007 to hide behind it. The laser gyroscope error that led the Jumbo to fly over soviet territory and super-secret ICBM sites is certainly strange. You can blame that Jumbo on the CIA, rather than the soviets. |

Bingo. Another claim of access to information not available to the rest of us--to go along with prior claims of attending sensitive briefings on what US personnel were doing with the contras in Nicaragua, and battle update briefings with a command that had troops engaged in Afghanistan? And you wonder why more and more folks don't believe you? I expalined quite directly why I had deeper knowledge than generally available. Anybody who worked at Maitland or the Texas plant (Victoria?) had the same. As you snipped that, I conclude you're up to your old bull again, removing context so that you can invent some. You've recently proven yourself grossly dishonest three times, isn't that enough? No, Keith has demonstrated quite amply that you are clueless regarding the incident at hand, not to mention of questionable veracity regarding the subject in general, despite your, as he put it "sekret" information... Sounds like just another example of your trying to pad your background a bit too much, and as I noted, it ain't the first time you have been caught out like this. I'm not going to argue about Kieth with you. You've been caught yourself more than once recently, as I said. Please specify. I have a complete list iof your falsifications; the ones you always hate to answer and usually resort to just snipping away before hurling your own utterly baseless allegations. As usual, you have nothing to contribute. Except for the observation that you have again apparently stepped into the trap of claiming you have some sort of restricted "insider" information (about a truly wide ranging field of subjects, too!), and when questioned further on it, this time by Keith, you wilt like a three day old cut-flower on the sidewalk. I have two choices, switch things back to one of your idiot statements, like the bit about artillery hitting without knowing where the target is, or ignoring you. I'll take the second. Give it your best shot--and while you are at it, can you refresh us as to what it was you were supposedly teaching those marines who were part of the spearhead into Afghanistan? You remember--you said quite clearly that your involvement with their preparation over the "past year" (a year where you also acknowledged that in fact you were working in that call center...) would have been "wasted" if they had seen fit to follow the Patton Approach to making the other poor SOB die for his country? Or was that another "sekret" thing? If so, you are not too good at keeping "sekrets", are you, Mr. Mitty? I believe this was all offered shortly before you claimed to have "been there, done that" in regards to your supposedly being fully squared away with the "meeting engagement", having never worn a uniform but having maybe worked for the same conglomerate that produced some kind of simulator? Did you even work in the same division that produced samesaid simulator, or did you make *all* of that up? And speaking of "division", that does remind one of your last (before this one) claim to have been in on "sekret" information, what with all of those briefings you claimed to be attending about ongoing actions in Afghanistan (again, at the same time that you elsewhere acknowledged you were actually working in that call center, though you later tried to claim that you were not doing so concurrently, forgetting that you had made the contradicting claims on *the same day* and both were set in the present tense) given by that "Mountain Division major"--have you figured out which division is known as the "Mountain Division" in the US Army yet? Gee, all them "sekrets", and nary a clue... amazing. Brooks Peter Skelton |

A home-made armored Caterpillar turns Colorado into Palestine?
Palestine has dead. The authorities ended this one without public deaths. Pure chance. They had no absolutely contact with the madman whatsoever .. If he decided to target a chemical plant and cause a Bhopal-scale industrial disaster, the cops simply couldn't stop him. In the end an entire county could get killed. Do you know enough about the local geography and plants to say that this sort of thing is possible? Very detailed description: http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drm...940309,00.html ....During the attack, according to officials, Heemeyer shot repeatedly at a number of propane storage tanks at a distributorship with a ..50-caliber weapon. The apparent attempt to trigger a massive explosion failed....This is just domestic terrorism is what it is.... |

He's manifestly shown many times that they do not. He's also demonstrated time and again that the sure way to tell when he realizes he is in the wrong is to watch for when he starts the insults.

Cite please - you keep claiming you have some special knowledge of this event beyond that of the various reports in the literature. I suggest you present it. Meanwhile I suggest you read the report published in the journal of Hazardous Materials in 2000 http://hugin.aue.auc.dk/publ/hoiset2000.pdf Quote w x Sadee et al. 1 have made an estimation of the explosive cyclohexane-air mixture to be a total volume of about 400 000 m3, shaped like a banana or boomerang in its footprint, containing 30 tons of cyclohexane at a concentration of 2% per volume. The authors also pointed out that a likely source of ignition was the reformer furnace of the w x nearby hydrogen plant. Gugan 3 stated 36 tons as a likely cyclohexane mass. Marshall w x 4 also stated the hydrogen plant as a probable point of ignition. Generally, there seems to be an agreement with respect to the general conditions of the leakage and the location of ignition in most reports of the Flixborough accident. /Quote Perhaps you prefer the report prpeared by Anthony Joseph PhD, PE for Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 2002 Quote The dog-leg assembly ruptured at about 4:51PM and allowed the escape of 30-50 tons of cyclohexane well above its normal boiling point. A flammable cloud of about 14 million ft3 (about 400,000 m3) was formed from the vapor and mist issuing from an initial jet about 600ft (about 185 m) long. /Quote that's the total lost in teh accident, including the fires which lasted days. From the report "The feedstuff for the process was a highly combustible cyclic hydrocarbon, some four hundred tonnes of which would fuel the subsequent fire" He also knows that proper valving would hav limited the loss, there's still quite of material in the pipe, but nothing like fifty tons and there woldn't be pressure to drive it.

As you accurately pointed out it has an autognition temperature of only 260 C meaning devices as varied as a vehicle exhaust or steam pipe can initiate combustion Probably oxidizing in air does not bring fire on contact with an ignition source to mind.
