LUCKY THREAD NUMBER:

HOMELAND INSECURITY

Backup electrical systems failed to kick in

A mysterious power failure at Logan Airport that delayed dozens of flights for more than five hours has still not been explained – six days later.

Airport officials insist airline security was not compromised during the blackout Monday at Logan International's Terminal E, but backup electrical systems failed to kick in as they are programmed under such circumstances.

Sorry, forgot it was a local term:

CIMA is an acronym for Channel Industries Mutual Aid. It was created in 1955 as a mutual aid agreement between several industrial complexes and municipal government agencies to bring quick and adequate aid to an industrial plant in case of a major incident. CIMA is so named because of its many petrochemical plants on the banks of the Houston Ship Channel. The plants and agencies are divided up into four zones depending on geographical location. Possibly, response to a plant will come from other plants in its zone.

There are two main dispatch centers set up for operation during an actual emergency. One is located at the Baytown Fire Dispatch and the other at Pasadena Fire Dispatch. Center Street (and it's imaginary extended line) in Deer Park is considered the dividing line for determining which dispatch center controls the net. If the plant with the emergency is west of Center Street, the Baytown site will handle the net. Likewise, if the emergency is east of Center Street, Pasadena will handle the net. This is to allow municipal agencies located in the affected area to be able to deal with the logistics of the problem while someone outside the area handles the radio net and coordination of plant responses.

There are several types of CIMA emergencies:
A.Standby alert
B.Assistance call
C.All out call
D.Civil defense alert
E.All clear

That's all I know at this time. i'll update with any new information.

I've got to agree with Budd on this one. China does not have the ability to project military power YET. They are developing that capability, but it'll take them a decade or two.

Something else I'm sure China has considered. Once they get 'boots on the ground' here, they'll have 100 million armed and angry civilians to deal with. They could nuke us now, but that would be like cutting off the nose to spite the face. We're the ones directly responsible for China's booming economy.

That's interesting...

Weren't the holiday 2003 warnings by Ridge also precipitated by the arrests of some Al Qaeda cell members who were arrested immediately after they arrived in either Phoenix or Portland airport? I need to refresh my memory.

[ßuddaßudd]

Good summation.

[HipShot]

I have no memory. Research time, unless Cindy has kept track of those arrests on her website.

[Calpernia]

Bump!

Hope good days for you too!

There's been so many arrests, I'm not sure.
It sounds familiary and I already dumped my
2003 archives.

FR search engine is a good tool for researching
the archives.

[HipShot]

Thanks for the memory tickle; research engine engaged. :)

It's been raised 5 times since the inception.
