Incredible the mullahs want to be fashionable and carry cellphones, but keep their women back in the stone ages. Methinks they fear losing control. Not much fashion required of the terrorists the mullahs shelter who wear masks and go out of their way to avoid being personally identified.
Oil Spills on the East River
By Eyewitness News' Anthony Johnson
(New York -WABC, January 7, 2005) Divers went into the East River Friday morning after a barge ran aground, leaking oil into the water. Eyewitness News reporter Anthony Johnson has the story.
The barge has now been towed to the docks under the Whitestone Bridge, and divers went in the water just after 6:30 a.m. to look at the extent of the damage.
The tugboat hauling that barge ran aground around 7:20 p.m. Thursday near the Hell's Gate Bride.
The 446 foot long barge was carrying 130,000 barrels of home heating oil. It was punctured near the front end of the barge, where it carried 7,000 of those barrels.
The tugboat is owned by a Staten Island transportation company. The captain was tested for drugs and alcohol and Eyewitness News is told those tests came back negative.
The NYPD says it does not believe this is a criminal matter.
The extent of the spill is still to be determined.

Since they started it, I suggest we use REAL PIGS in our war efforts against the terrorists. Let the lefties bunch up their panties, it's high time we put some religious fear into those who think they are going to heaven by killing our troops.
Any updates Peach?
That is, IMO, criminal. The feed we buy for our steers is American made. It's also obvious, just by looking at it, that it is pure corn from one bag and a mixture of oats and barley from the other bag. Also get our hay from a local rancher. The feed is for winter. In the summertime they are out in the pasture. Nothing like home grown beef.
Thanks JP....It seems that there is so much out there regarding AQ threats to us and Italy, the UK, etc., that sadly at some point it becomes background noise.
At the same time that Ridge is stating that there is less chatter....Mossad is claiming an imminent threat. So much of what is currently happening is tied into the Palestinian vote and the Iraqi vote, that all the threats are starting to run together.

They are a LOT better, Oorang. Thanks.
NTSB Press Conference Update:
The NTSB and FBI were able to approach the crash site this afternoon. They could not get very close and had to wear Haz Mat gear because the crash site is still deemed a Hot Zone.
An announcement will be made in an hour; the press thinks the evacuation radius will expand.
That's funny, I heard that song too while reading that article.
Glad your eyes are better!
Still sounds like a very serious situation. If they do expand the evac zone, do you think you'll be force to leave?
Is there anything we can do to help?
So far 50-60 tons of the 90 tons of chlorine have leaked out.
Thanks, appalachian. We'll know at 4:00 if we have to leave. I don't think we will. People have been out and about today.
And I have to change something I typed a few minutes ago: The NTSB has NOT approached the site with the exception of standing in HazMat suits some distance away. It is still too dangerous for them to get close.
I appreciate all the support from you lovely freepers. (((Hugs)))
When we had cows, we bought our own grain, too.
Pure grain and the rest of their meals were grazing.
