I have a concern... what do you think are the odds of the contamination of the Mississippi River in NO reaching other communities along the Mississippi.

I am from the Quad Cities region of Illinois(currently living in CO) which is right along the Mississippi. I realize that it is UP river, but I wonder if that could happen?

Scanner Update -

LSP asks to do have any idea where to send these empty 40 coach buses at West board scales? To the causeway or the airport?

Answer - as soon as the NG figures it out - we will let you know.

I don't think that contamination is an issue upriver.

Could be wrong but other than minute amounts carried on the hulls of barges, I don't see a mechanism.

Yes it could -- Sheila Jackson-Lee has a plan to get Congress to repeal the Law of Gravity so the contamination will flow upriver to where all the white people live!

NONE. And the amount of dilution and limited amount of time the bad stuff is flowing into the water, I don't think it will be that big of a deal in the long run for downstream and the ocean. I imagine in the sixties most of what is in the water was being dumped into the river anyway without any or too much treatment.

You may feel the effects of contamination as some of the thugs and gangbangers get mixed in with all of the decent folk who will be moving into new areas all over the country.
