Does acid boil?

[Colvin]

It must be bad filming, because all I see is common waves breaking on the beach and creating bubble, I see it all the time on the west cost.
I may be wrong, but I’m thinking this guy should get out more.

Methane? Did he describe the smell?

[Jedidah]

Breaks my heart.

Pensacola’s beaches are a treasure, just beautiful. To see them abandoned and black is just tragic.

That video clip is heartbreaking.

Remember when lake Erie feeder caught on fire in 1969?

I guess I’m fuzzy on how acid boils any differently from water or anything else.

The headline of the article regarding “beach boiling like acid” and the video clip bear no relationship to each other. Whether is is ignorance by the author or deliberate chicken little shouting, the premise is misleading. I can assure you, that is not what concentrated acid added to water looks like.

The clip resolution was not satisfactory enough for a high confidence opinion, but I have a sense that there could have been hydrocarbons in sufficient quantity to to affect normal wave breaking characteristics due to the affect that they would have on surface tension. For example, deliberate dumping of fuel oil into rough seas has been done some number of times in emergency conditions in order to calm breaking waves and make rescue or other aid possible.

Habibi’s No. 34 here http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2541317/posts states it well.

“Like most natural/unnatural systems, the variables can confound those seeking easy answers. Be very careful about buying into simple environmental theories about the situation at an early stage. Right now, the Ludite environmental opportunists are regurgitating whatever comes into their technically feeble brains. For good or ill, accurate environmental answers are not going to come for a long time. Right now you’re seeing PC-PR spin that's only produced by organizations trying to push particular agendas that have little to do with reality. In months, or years, we’ll actually know some of the answers as to how Corexit works in this particular environment. Those who profess to know the answers at this early stage are not to be trusted, but it is interesting to pick apart their agenda driven mantras that are trying to pass off as scientific knowledge.”
